The mom collage under a heat-sensitive black coating on a high gloss body. Cold, the mug shows nothing. Pour in a hot drink and the coating clears from the base upward, and the whole arrangement of photographs and lettering surfaces together over a few seconds.
With one picture, the coating uncovers a picture. With several, it uncovers most of the mug at once, which is a far bigger change and the reason collage layouts are the most dramatic things we print under this coating. There is almost no black ground left between the frames once it clears, so the object does not reveal something; it becomes something else entirely. Nothing else in the range changes this much between cold and hot, which is why the layout and the coating are bought together.
This is the honest caveat for a mother's collage specifically. The archive is usually a mix of recent phone pictures and scans of prints that were never bright to begin with, and anything dark has very little to give through a black layer. Our designers raise the contrast frame by frame and will tell you which images will not surface convincingly, but there is a floor below which no adjustment helps. If most of your pictures are old, the plain white version of this design will serve them better.
High gloss black carries a reflection, so at rest the mug reads as dark glass with the room light sitting on the curve. It is the finish that looks like an object rather than a cup, and the one people choose when the mug will be displayed as much as used. The cost is a highlight that stays after the reveal and travels across the frames as the mug is turned, which the matte version removes.
The coating is opaque below about body temperature and reseals as the drink cools, so a mug left standing goes dark before it is empty. The same design is made 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.
Microwave use is fine. In a dishwasher it belongs on the top rack. A hand wash keeps the picture sharper over years. The image is sublimated onto the ceramic. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.
