🤍Crafted from fine white porcelain, the mug features a heartwarming illustration of an elderly toymaker engrossed in his craft, accompanied by two eager children—a scene that encapsulates the innocence and joy of childhood.
The 24k gold trim around the rim and down the handle adds a touch of elegance, making each sip feel special.
📏 Standing approximately 4 inches tall (10.3 cm) with a diameter of 2¾ inches (7 cm) at the top, this mug holds up to 8 ounces (225 ml) of your favorite beverage, be it coffee or tea.
The back of the mug features an inspiring inscription: "He is the hero of the village because he works wonders for boys and girls. He can make a single piece of wood come alive and stir the imagination of any youngster. He is more than a toymaker, he is a dream maker."
🎈 This sentiment resonates with the timeless tradition of toymaking, celebrating artisans who bring joy to children through their creations.
✔️ In excellent vintage condition, this mug shows no chips, cracks, or crazing, and the image and poem remain vibrant. There is a glimpse of wear in the gold rim.
It's a testament to the quality craftsmanship of the Norman Rockwell Museum Collection.
To preserve its beauty, it's recommended to hand wash this mug and avoid using it in the dishwasher or microwave.
This collectible piece not only serves as a functional item but also as a charming decorative accent, evoking nostalgia and warmth.
💛💛💛💛 Fun Fact (true inspiring history): In the spirit of "The Toymaker," it's worth highlighting the inspiring story of James Annis, an 80-year-old woodworker from Sanford who has been crafting toys for children in need for over 50 years.
Each year, Annis donates nearly 300 handmade wooden toys to charity, bringing joy to countless children.
His dedication and generosity exemplify the true essence of a toymaker—a dream maker who uses his skills to brighten the lives of others.
Like James Annis, Alton Thacker from Utah has left an incredible legacy of generosity and kindness by crafting and donating over 1.7 million wooden toy cars to children across the globe!
These heartfelt efforts remind us that good-hearted individuals are everywhere, spreading joy and making a difference. Celebrating their dedication inspires us all to bring a little more kindness into the world.
Owning this mug is not just about appreciating a piece of art; it's about connecting with the rich history of toymaking and the individuals who have dedicated their lives to this noble craft.
