I first saw this pattern of mug in the gift shop at one of the San Francisco fine arts museums. I tracked them down to Lucia’s World Emporium. Since then, I have reordered current similar patterns as the old ones get broken from time to time. They do what a mug is supposed do and look good while they’re doing it.

I was pleased to find that my recent purchase was padded with wadded-up paper instead of bubblewrap. Bubblewrap is probably more convenient for a shipper, but I can recycle the paper with a clear conscience instead of trying to find a way to dispose of the plastic bubblewrap. Thank you, Lucia.
