This 11oz Color Changing Mug is a unique reinterpretation of Ernst Carl Eugen Koerner's famous artwork titled "The Acropolis Athena," created in 1917. The original piece, an oil on canvas masterpiece, showcases the ancient city of Athens and its iconic goddess, Athena. The mug design incorporates Koerner's detailed artwork depicting the Acropolis, with its distinctive buildings such as the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, against a backdrop of vibrant Greek sunset colors. As hot liquids are poured into the mug, the color-changing property brings the artwork to life, making each sip an invigorating journey through ancient Greek history.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware, this Color Changing Mug is a thoughtful gift for history buffs or those with a fondness for classical art. Whether used for daily coffee or as a centerpiece on a dining table during special occasions, this mug adds an elegant touch of ancient Greece to your modern-day beverage experiences.

Note: The color-changing effect may vary based on the temperature and type of liquid poured into the mug. The design is for decorative purposes only, and the mug is safe for regular use.

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.
