Large Belly Mug (Blue Bell Delight)

Imagine a post-****** film scene wherein two attractive, young lovers loosely dressed look out over the majesty of their city skyline from a high rise apartment. From the shot, it's not readily ascertained whose apparent they're in, if they share it, or if it's one of theirs. They each hold a Blue Bell Delight Polish Pottery mug and sip from them warm tea, completely satisfied with their raucous yet magnanimous lovemaking. A Carter Burwell backing track begins to play, but what has occurred moments earlier is too profound for a mood piece, and so they each break the fourth wall and demand a march. Something triumphant, they say, which exhibits a sense of accomplishment. The moment requires John Philip Sousa, they say, and the director acquiesces. "The Thunderer" begins and the young lovers give a warm smile to one another, their eyes glinting in the soft light, and they clink their Polish pottery together before continuing to admire the city, trumpets and snares echoing from the walls adorned with pedestrian modern art. You, the viewer, did not know previous to this scene how sexy Polish Pottery could be. You thought dishwasher safe was the big benefit, but you were wrong, and now the Blue Bell Delight is here to remind you: its curvy figure, playful use of color, its depiction of spring flowers begging to be pollinated. This, you Polish Pottery enthusiasts, is what the Blue Bell Delight is all about.

What an attractive mug. I bought this mug to replace one which had cracked, and this new one effortlessly holds many ounces of hot caffeinated liquid. Most of us would not be able to hold such hot liquids because our skin would burn, and the liquid would get everywhere. But this mug can. Oh, you bet it can. And for extended periods of time. Effortlessly. And it looks good while doing it.

It’s a beautiful mug and a nice size. It holds 15 ounces. It keeps my coffee and tea hot for a long time which I love.

I bought this as a gift for my husband who plays piano. He is enjoying the large size as well as the musical decoration. Always great quality with Polish Pottery.

Bought 4 of these and they look great in my kitchen and keep my coffee hot in the morning!
