About This Design
Blue and yellow pretty Portuguese tiles pattern Large Coffee Mug
Blue and yellow "azulejos" is a Portuguese-inspired tile pattern that fits not only home décor objects but also wearables like clothing and accessories. The essence of this design, known as "azulejo," traces its origins back to the Arabic phrase "small polished stone." Ceramic tiles belong to Portugal's rich history and cultural tapestry. They are a part of the nation's architectural heritage, adorning both the interiors and exteriors of old structures.
In the modern era, tiles have transcended time and tradition, weaving their way into contemporary aesthetics. They infuse their charm into the atmosphere of restaurants, bars, and even transportation hubs like railway and subway stations. Their influence extends to the very heart of homes, where they contribute their artistic flair to interior decoration.
The essence of this elegant seamless tile pattern draws inspiration from the Portuguese tiles I photographed a long time ago in the enchanting Porto district. Blue and yellow colours dance together in harmony close to the botanical elements. Perhaps, in bygone times, the skilled hands of ancient tile artisans found inspiration in the azure expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. And what of the yellow touch that illuminates these patterns? Was it a reflection of the sun's warm light? The "azulejo" pattern stands as a testament to Portugal's creative spirit, which continues to captivate people from around the world, travelers, tourists, and Portuguese artists, inspiring across time and generations.
This product is ideal to send to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to a Portuguese American or someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions or the beauty of azulejos.

I was looking for a cheerful, vibrantly coloured, fun, extra large , MCM designed mug for my first coffee of the day. This fits the bill! The print is purrfect and the colours are SO vibrant. The design definitely gives a true MCM vibe. The placement of the art is the only negative for me. I would prefer the main image be on opposite sides of the mug, rather than placed so close together, and not able to be seen by the drinker (me!) or the person opposite me (if there is one :-).

I am super happy with this mug! It is exactly the size I was looking for. The image quality is good and I find the handle really comfortable.
I was absolutely shocked by how quickly my order arrived! I placed my order on a Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday, and I live in a very rural area. Super impressed! Thank you for a great experience!

I ordered this great mug as a birthday gift for a few friends during the pandemic, since I could not physically meet up with them to wish them personally. The mug arrived in great time, and all my friends love it! The print turned out great!
