Featuring a romantic portrait design from our family archive, in our family's care since the 1970s. This iconic 1940s airbrushed artwork is no longer available as a vintage original print, making this ceramic mug a unique way to enjoy this timeless imagery with your morning coffee.
Start your day with vintage romance! This ceramic mug features an exquisite 1940s airbrushed portrait of an elegant couple with lady in pink, from the Turner Wall Accessory archive.
The Story:
This artwork reproduces an original airbrushed portrait created by Borin Art in the 1940s for Turner Wall Accessory. These pieces were originally airbrushed on cardboard and used as warehouse display samples in Turner's Chicago facility. In 1981, when Turner closed its warehouse, my parents purchased these original cardboard display artworks from the liquidation. Each piece showcases the lost art of commercial airbrush technique—dimensional shading, elaborate costume details, and idealized beauty that defined mid-century American decorative art.
Product Details:
- White ceramic
- 11 oz (0.33 l)
- Rounded corners
- C-handle
- Lead and BPA-free
Perfect for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while enjoying timeless romantic elegance. Makes a wonderful gift for vintage art lovers, Valentine's Day, weddings, or anniversaries.
