The coffee joke with glazed colour on the handle and inside. On this design the coloured handle has a use that has nothing to do with decoration: it is how a half awake man identifies his own mug in a kitchen at six in the morning.
An inner colour mug reads as white until it is picked up, which is no help at all at the point in the day this design is about. Colour on the handle is visible from across the room, from behind, and on a shelf with the printed face turned away, which an inner glaze never is. For a household where everybody owns similar white mugs, this is the version that stays his. The joke on the side only works if the right person is the one drinking from it.
Black, Cambridge blue, green, orange, pink, red and yellow. Black is the most ordered here. It suits the subject, and it hides coffee staining better than anything else over several years of exactly the use the mug is joking about. Red and orange make it loud and obviously a present, while yellow and pink are typically chosen when the gift is from a child, which gives the joke a second layer nobody planned.
One picture, and an unguarded one serves this design better than a good one. The humour comes from the gap between a formal looking gift object and a man who is clearly not at his best, so an early morning photograph, a bad hat or a half closed eye beats a studio portrait.
The exterior is glazed white with the colour confined to the interior and the handle, which keeps the picture accurate. The same joke is printed on plain white in three capacities, with an inner colour only, in glossy or matte heat-reveal black, with a heart-shaped handle, and with thank-you wording. Only the plain white body offers the larger sizes, which is worth weighing against the coloured handle if volume is part of the point. The joke itself is set identically on every one of them.
It goes in the microwave without trouble. Top rack in the dishwasher, not the bottom. Hand washing is gentler on the print than a cycle. The picture is printed by sublimation. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image.
