White Lion of Mortimer Badge of Edward IV - White Coffee Mug

This mug carries a seated white lion, the heraldic badge that Edward IV took as his own, drawn in a clean, flat vector style that reads at a glance.

Visual Elements & Composition

The white lion dominates the design. It sits upright in the classic sejant pose, with a curled mane and a forked tail rendered in crisp outline. White fills most of the artwork, with a fine grey outline defining the body. Small touches of colour do the rest: a red tongue, blue claws and a gold eye. Nothing competes with the figure, so the silhouette stays strong and legible.

Meaning & Symbolism

The White Lion of Mortimer belonged to the Mortimer family, whose claims passed through the House of York to Edward IV when he came to the throne in 1461. Edward adopted it as a personal badge, and it became one of the most recognisable royal emblems of the fifteenth century. Medieval heraldry used animals like this lion to signal lineage, loyalty and right to rule, so every line of the badge speaks of inheritance and authority.

Turning the Story in Your Hand

A mug is turned in the hand, so the lion reveals itself gradually: the mane first, then the tongue, then the claws as the cup rotates. Heraldic badges were designed to be seen in pieces on banners and livery, and this mug recreates that experience at close range. For history lovers, it is a daily reminder of a royal emblem that has survived five centuries of retelling.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
