Ask the ArtisanFor the gentleman of distinction—or the collector of rare, beautiful things—comes The Hunt Mustache Mug. This isn’t just a vessel for your favorite beverage; it’s a piece of history and opulent craftsmanship.
Inspired by the classic Victorian-era necessity, this mustache mug features the signature internal guard, ingeniously designed to protect a perfectly groomed (and often waxed) mustache from steam and liquid.
Crafted from fine porcelain for a delicate yet durable feel. 24k Florentine Gold: The rich, contoured handle, the rim, the foot, and the striking deer/elk track emblem are all painted with genuine 24k Florentine gold and permanently fused to the porcelain through kiln firing. Lustrous Russet Glaze: The deeply textured, shimmering gem luster in russet and amber tones gives the mug a magnificent, jewel-like glow.
The bold, wide body and stately gilded foot upgrade your coffee or tea ritual into an act of refined elegance. Whether you have a splendid ‘stache to protect or simply appreciate the artistry of a bygone era, this mug is an undeniable statement piece.
Carolyn L. Barlock was born in Denver, Colorado to a native Coloradoan family that dates back more than a hundred years to Central City’s rush for gold. In 1967 she received her Associate Art Degree from Christian College in Columbia, Missouri, now known as Columbia College.
A special interest in the history of art and antiques caused her to commence the study of porcelain art in the spring of 1969. At first, she studied painting flowers, fruits, scenes and portraits on porcelain. She then studied and experimented with secret techniques of porcelain decoration. These techniques fascinated the ancient alchemists. She mastered the secrets of enameled art, dating from The Chinese Ming Dynasty. This once-fired porcelain application, requiring exactitude of line and density, was a form Carolyn had perfected by the early 1980’s that first earned her worldwide recognition. While exhibiting her work in internationally renowned galleries and shows, Carolyn continued her scholarly journey of ancient porcelain techniques culminating in her use of 22 Karat Florentine Gold and ancient Persian Lusters dating from 9th Century Baghdad creating pieces of timeless beauty, and exquisite form.
