Alexei Vasilievich Hanzen (1876-1937) was a prominent Russian painter known for his impressionistic works, particularly those capturing the mood of everyday life in Russia before the Revolution. One of his most famous paintings, titled "Before the Rain," depicts a quiet street scene with umbrellas and raincoats dotted among the buildings, creating a sense of anticipation and tranquility. This iconic artwork has been beautifully reimagined as an 11oz color-changing mug.

The "Alexei Vasilievich Hanzen (1876-1937) Before the Rain - Oil on Canvas - Color Changing Mug" allows art enthusiasts and collectors to enjoy this historic piece in a functional and practical format. The mug's design faithfully recreates the soft, impressionistic brushstrokes and muted color palette of Hanzen's original artwork. As coffee or tea is added, the mug reveals an incredible transformation – the image changes from its subtle rain-soaked hues to vibrant, warm tones, reflecting the drink within it.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware, this color-changing mug is a thoughtful gift for art lovers, history buffs, or anyone interested in Russian Impressionism. It serves as an engaging conversation starter and a beautiful addition to any home or office collection.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
