Korean War Veteran Coffee Mug by Papastyle Designs

The real thing looks exactly like the picture. Which you'd think would be a good thing but, in this case, it's not. The way the lettering at the top kind of fades out gave me the impression that it was the reflection of the light from the angle that the picture would have been taken. Given that, I thought the yellow band was more gold and brighter with high contrast so you could see the lettering (like you can at the bottom). Not so. The yellow band is simply an ugly brownish yellow that is really pale at the top and blending to darker at the bottom to imitate reflected light. Seems like a good artistic device but with the color they chose and the color of the lettering, it just doesn't work. Maybe if the lettering were higher contrast or in completely different but complimentary color (like a darker shade of the blue) it would have worked. As it is, the mug just looks like it's been through the dishwasher too many times. That all said, I'd rather see this design retained than scrapped just so as not to decrease the visibility of Korean War designs! Just judging the quality of the printing, rather than the design, it was great.

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!

What a beautiful mug, I was really pleased with the mug. The printing was brilliant, wonderful colours
