Splendor & Riches Designer Series Tiki Mug

The chunky ceramic feels substantial, and the hand-painted details on the grim reaper's hood are surprisingly crisp. I'm already planning where to display it on my bar cart.

The grim reaper design by Becky Cloonan is so detailed in person—the skull’s shading and the little flourishes make it feel like a piece of art, not just a mug. It’s hefty enough to feel solid in your hand, and the matte finish gives it a nice, dry grip even when it’s cold from a drink.

I was a little nervous about the Grim Reaper theme being too spooky, but Becky Cloonan’s art makes it feel almost playful. The sculpting on the face and hood is incredibly crisp, and it’s got a nice weight to it that feels solid in hand. Definitely the centerpiece of my tiki shelf now.
