Ernst Josephson (1851-1906) was a Swedish painter and photographer, renowned for his symbolist works depicting mystical and spiritual themes. His masterpiece, "David and Saul," created in 1878, is one of the most significant pieces from this period in his career. This oil on canvas artwork represents a unique moment in biblical history where King David spares the life of King Saul, symbolizing forgiveness and mercy. The color-changing mug, inspired by Josephson's "David and Saul," captures the ethereal atmosphere and emotional depth present in the original piece.

This 11oz mug features the iconic scene from Josephson's painting, with the color transitioning based on the temperature of the liquid inside. The design is perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware, as well as art enthusiasts and history buffs interested in symbolist artwork or the Old Testament narrative. This mug serves as a daily reminder of forgiveness, mercy, and the power of understanding between individuals, making it an inspiring addition to any home or office.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates unique and cool drinkware.

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.
