A glossy black eleven ounce mug that clears as it warms and shows two photographs instead of one. The practical difference from the single image version is not quantity but rhythm: with two pictures on opposite faces, the reveal happens twice, once on the side facing the drinker and once on the side facing everybody else at the table.
A mug is the only object in a kitchen that is permanently showing one picture to its owner and a different one to the room. On this layout that is deliberate. The common choice is a picture of the person being given the mug on the outward face and a picture of whoever gave it on the inward one, which means the gift keeps working in both directions every morning. Pairs also suit before and after: a wedding photo and a recent one, a puppy and the same dog at ten.
The black layer over the print is heat sensitive. Cold, it hides everything; warm, it goes clear from the base upward as the heat moves through the ceramic, so both images surface at the same time over a few seconds. The effect reverses as the drink cools, which is why a mug left standing goes dark again before it is empty. Nothing about the images themselves is temporary; they are printed in full colour underneath and the coating is what changes.
The glossy version holds a reflection, so unlit it reads as a dark mirror rather than a flat black. The matte alternative in the same range is less reflective and gives a slightly crisper reveal. Eleven ounces is the everyday size, the one most cupboards hold. Send two photographs and our designers prepare both, lifting the contrast where needed, because a dark picture under a black coating has less to work with than a bright one. Three, four and five image versions exist if two is not enough.
Two is the count that keeps both pictures large. Each image gets roughly half the printable band, so a face still reads from across a kitchen and a landscape still has enough width to make sense.
Hand wash only. A microwave ruins the colour change. Sublimation is how the hidden image is printed. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image. Microwave use will damage the coating.
