What this mug is like

Glossy ceramic, white on the outside, with the rim, the handle and the inside in colour. There are two sizes: 325 ml, the classic breakfast mug, and 443 ml, the one for broth or for anyone who does not want to get up for a refill. It is the only object in the catalogue you look at from close up and at leisure: thirty centimetres from your face, every day, while you wait for it to cool.

Read more about this mug

The print is done by sublimation and goes all the way round the piece. The ink goes into the material instead of sitting on top of it, so it has neither the relief nor the edge of a transfer. And because the drawing wraps, there is no good side and empty side: it makes no difference which hand you pick it up with, and no difference how it ends up on the shelf.

It is the cheapest piece in the catalogue and the one that best stands up to daily use, so it is usually the first to come into the house: plenty of people try a design out here before wearing it. About the dishwasher and the microwave we say nothing, and that is not an oversight: the Printful API does not publish that figure in any field of the product, and we are not going to promise on our own account what a piece we do not manufacture can take.

The drawing on «El Pequod»

The three-masted whaler with every sail set, the whaleboat hanging from its davits and the bowsprit pointing out of the frame. It is the ship, not the whale.

Where this drawing comes from

What hangs along the sides are whaleboats, not lifeboats. The hunting was done from them; the big ship was only the floating factory where the blubber was boiled down.

The ship sails all the way round: bow on one side, stern on the other and the waterline going around the cylinder without closing on any edge. This is the piece where the drawing is discovered by turning it, one mast at a time, and where the boats can be made out without leaning in, because a mug is looked at close up by definition.

«Moby-Dick», chapter XVI, where Melville describes the Pequod. The rig is that of the mid-19th-century New England whaler —three masts and whaleboats hung along the sides— just as it comes out in the whaling prints of the time.

Sizes: measurements, where each one is made and what it costs

Measurements of the item in centimetres, as published by the factory itself.

Measurements in centimetres, where it is made and the price of each size
Size AltoDiámetro Made in Price
15 oz 11,9 8,5 the EU 28.95 €
11 oz 9,6 8,3 Spain 26.95 €

The larger formats 15 oz cost more because they cost the printer more: we would rather say so here and stock them than not have them.

«Made in» comes from the warehouse Printful declares for that exact size, not from an estimate of ours.

What you ask us before buying

What are the boats hanging along the sides?
Whaleboats, not lifeboats. The hunting was done from them; the big ship was the floating factory where the blubber was boiled. It is the detail that tells a whaler from any three-masted sailing ship, and that is why it is drawn.
Does the drawing wear off with use?
The print is done by sublimation —Printful's spec sheet says so—: the ink goes into the material instead of sitting on top of it, so it has no relief and no edge to lift. What we cannot tell you is how much rubbing, dishwashing or microwaving it takes: the manufacturer publishes none of those figures and we would rather not make them up.
Which size do I take, 325 or 443 ml?
325 ml is the ordinary breakfast mug. 443 ml feels noticeably bigger and is the one for broth, a long tea or an after-lunch coffee. The price of each size is in the table above, not in the cart.
How long does it really take?
3 to 4 working days, printing and shipping included — the same lead time the rest of the site gives, because there is only one. The piece is made in the European Union, and that is where the lead time comes from. Above, over the button, you have the exact date for this one. The table below says where each size is made.
How much is shipping?
The page itself says so, above the button, before you pay and for whichever destination you pick in the dropdown. To Spain it is 4.29 €. The amount comes from the same rate the checkout charges, not from a separate list.
Why do some formats cost more?
Because they cost the printer more. The price of each format is in the table above, not in the cart.
Can it be returned?
Yes. You have 14 days to withdraw without giving reasons — it is not a personalised product, so the right of withdrawal covers you — and 3 years of legal guarantee. If it arrives faulty or badly printed, we redo it or give you your money back. How it is made.
Where does the drawing on «El Pequod»?
«Moby-Dick», chapter XVI, where Melville describes the Pequod. The rig is that of the mid-19th-century New England whaler —three masts and whaleboats hung along the sides— just as it comes out in the whaling prints of the time. It is in the public domain: the drawing is ours, the material it starts from belongs to everyone.
