Description
A sturdy white ceramic mug, large (15 oz) with large handle; very durable, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe.
This is a reproduction of an original gouache painting by David Sibley. Prints of the same painting are also available.
Blackburnian Warbler nests in mixed forests of eastern Canada and the northeastern US, especially in hemlock groves, and passes through much of the eastern US in spring and fall traveling to and from its wintering grounds in northern South America. The orange throat of the male is one of the most intense colors among North American birds, and positively glows in early morning sunlight. The bird’s black markings and “flaming” (or burning) orange throat match the name, but that is merely a coincidence. The species was named for Mrs. Anna Blackburn, a patron of ornithology who had a museum in Lancashire, England in the late 1700s.

A good mug. Fits a very solid cup of coffee! I think it is very overpriced though. If I could customize what bird species (more like the overall look of the mug) then I think the price would match. Not worth the buy in my opinion.
David Sibley –
Thanks for your review Austin. I’m glad you like the quality of the mug, and understand your concern about the cost. Unfortunately given the small volume that I sell, the high-quality mug, and the full-color wrap-around printing, it’s simply not feasible to offer them at a lower price.

Despite my more negative review in the past, the mug has been great. Over the last year (almost), the color hasn’t faded a bit and it feels good to hold compared to my other ones. I enjoy it and it accompanies me many places!

After Austin threw out his mug, I managed to find it in the garbage can outside of his house. What a quality mug, and for free it was such an affordable item! No complaints here!
