The love design under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. The mug is plain black until a hot drink goes in; then the coating clears from the base upward and the word and the photograph rise together over a few seconds, disappearing again as the drink cools.
This is the only version of the design that is discreet, and it is discreet in an unusual way. The mug says nothing on the shelf, nothing in the cupboard and nothing to a guest looking at the draining board. It only says love to the person who has just made themselves a coffee. For a couple who share a kitchen with housemates, or for anybody who would enjoy the sentiment but not the display, that is a real distinction rather than a gimmick.
A word has a shape you recognise before you can read it, so the reveal has a sequence: the outline of the lettering arrives first and the photograph fills in behind it. Pictures alone just get brighter. The photograph beside the word benefits from that too, since by the time it resolves the eye already knows where to look. Of the designs we print under this coating, the ones built around type are the ones where the mechanism is most satisfying to watch.
High gloss black holds a reflection, so unlit the mug looks like dark glass with the ceiling light sitting on the curve. That is why it looks expensive at rest. The same highlight stays after the reveal and travels across the lettering as the mug turns, and the matte version removes it at the price of looking like a plain dark mug when it is not in use.
One bright photograph with a clear subject, since anything dark has little to reveal through a black coating. Our designers lift the contrast before print and will say if an image will not surface convincingly. The same artwork is available in matte heat-reveal black, in plain white with three capacities, with a coloured interior, with a coloured handle, with a heart-shaped handle and with thank-you wording.
It goes in the microwave without trouble. Top rack in the dishwasher, not the bottom. The print stays brightest with hand washing. Sublimation printing puts the image into the glaze. Colour Enhancement can be added for $1.99 per image.
