About This Design

"It's ionic" architectural order of columns ironic Mug

"It's ionic" architectural order of columns ironic Mug

A quirky design for those in the know, whether they are architects, archaeologists, culture historians, or art lovers: it's 3 column heads of the ionic architectural order, with a wordplay on ironic/ionic. Isn't it ionic? Yes, it is! When the Ancient Greeks constructed temples thousands of years ago, they were very precise in their layouts and measurements for every aspect of these buildings. There were three main architectural "orders" known as: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The differences in the styles are most easily recognized in the column capitals (the decoration on top of the columns) and have been used in architecture ever since. The Ionic column capital comprised three parts: the echinus and the abacus (which are proportionately thinner than those on the Doric column capital and usually have carved decoration), and the volute which terminates in eyes.

Creator Review
Love this mug! Zazzle does such a GREAT job - it's shiny, and pretty, and really shows off the whimsical artwork extraordinarily well. You really can't tell how awesome it's going to be until you hold it in your hands. My new favourite mug! The printing was clear, sharp, and beautiful. Really showcased the artwork in true colours. Excellent craftmanship! Couldn't be happier.

Classic Mug, 325 ml
Colors just as bright as shown on-line. Would be nice if the colour choices for interior & handle on the large mug were as many as on the smaller one.

This mug exceeded expectations! The quality is great and the prints turned out clear and crisp. The shipping also came in way faster than anticipated! All in all, very worth it! Thank you! The image quality was great!
