The Little Fiji Mermaid mug - New Mug Release!

What if the Little Mermaid had lost her looks instead of her voice? The sea witch Ursula has cursed Ariel, turning her into a Fiji Mermaid. Will Prince Eric still fall in love with her?

With this mug I envisioned Ariel as P.T. Barnum's Fiji Mermaid*. She stands 10" tall and holds 16 oz of Fog Cutter or other boozy tropical concoction. It’s a two part mug, lid and base.

This mug will be a very Limited Edition; we are making only 100 mugs in this color. If demand is high we may make up to another 100 in other colors a few months down the line.

I started sculpting this mug when baby Fox was still in the womb… now he’s half a year old! It was a blast and a challenge to hand-sculpt, and each one took many hours to glaze. They are made 100% from start to finish by Shima Ceramics in Port Costa, CA.

Pre-order. $195, FREE U.S. domestic shipping. Ships in about 2-4 weeks.

*The Fiji Mermaid, aka Feejee Mermaid, is completely unrelated to the Island of Fiji and its inhabitants. It was named so because it was said to have been caught near Fiji, when in fact it was constructed by Japanese fishermen who attached the upper half of a monkey to the lower half of a fish. It was acquired by P.T. Barnum and displayed in Barnum’s American Museum in 1842.
