Like a Thief in the Night

This is the second mug in the set of two I picked up last week.  It is also a wrap around design, showing the outline of a city at night with a crescent moon and stars above.  In the lower right is the phrase "©LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT"

When hot liquid is added, the entire design clears to show buildings with their lights on, and the figure of Jesus Christ in a bright blue sky with rays of yellow coming from behind him.  

This is a beautiful use of the thermochromic change and I look forward to finding more in this series.

The King is Coming

In my collecting of these incredible mugs, I've found mugs from just about every industry.  This last weekend, I found two mugs from a different perspective, Christian Religion.

This first mug shows a drawing of the sky, with a bunch of fluffy clouds.  Upper right of this wrap around design is a dark blue area of sky.  To the lower right, is "© THE KING IS COMING"

When hot liquid is added the dark blue sky clears to show a light blue sky, with rays of light coming from the figure of Jesus Christ.  The mug is like new and the color change is quick and complete.  

Next week, I will post the companion to this beautiful mug.

Atlanta 1996

This week's mug is from the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.  On the left side of the mug is a large dark area, with a pattern of leaves above the words "Atlanta 1996" (separated by the Olympic Torch.) Notable on this mug is a gold rim (though it is unsure if it is gold flake or just a gold paint.)

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire dark area clears to reveal a light area with the leaves in dark green ink above a dark green quilt like pattern.  Sold at the Atlanta Games, this is a great souvenir mug.

Coreg Prescription

This is a really pretty mug from Coreg prescription medicine.  On both the right and left side of the mug is the logo and generic name for Coreg: Carvedilol.  On the front of the mug is a purple shape, reminiscent of a paint brush colored haphazardly. 

Wen hot liquid is added, this brushed design clears to show a modern heart shape.  Coreg is for high blood pressure, and to prevent heart disease, so a heart is a great addition to this design.

This is a beautiful mug, with a great color change.  It is the kind that is given to Drs' offices to advertise the product.

Ameristar Casino

This week's mug is from the Ameristar Casino. On the left side of the mug is the logo for the Ameristar Casino on a dark background. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the background clears to reveal a set of 3 lucky 7s above the logo and a stack of gold coins below.

My Office Products

This weeks mug is from My Office Products and featured their sister site: memosmiddaymarkdown.com. The left side of the mug features a large dark silhouette of a bone at the top along with the web site for the company above the logo for My Office Proucts.  Below that is the caption, "A HiTough Company".  I'm happy to post this mug as I picked it up just last weekend.

When hot liquid is added, the bone shape clears to show the phrase "SAVE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW!"

This mug is almost new. The color change is fast,uniform and complete. A beautiful addition to the collection.

Embassy Entertainment / Nelson Entertainment

This week's mug comes from Nelson Entertainment. On the Right side, the logo of Nelson Entertainment is a beautiful gold on black.  (The rim is also gold.)  

On the left side of the mug is the logo for Embassy Entertainment, or at least there would be the logo for Embassy Entertainment if it hadn't been worn almost completely off.  Below that is the phrase "Embassy Entertainment is Now!'"  

Below this is an old style television with a dark blue screen. (From what my research shows, the dark blue covers the entire screen.  As you can see, this is one of those mugs that someone has microwaved and the ink no longer changes when hot liquids are put in the cup.)

When hot liquid is added, the blue clears to reveal the logo for Nelson Entertainment. The mug was issued at the time when Nelson and Embassy were merged. Though Embassy would later close its doors in 1986, the Nelson/Embassy name would be well known long past that date.
