Add your own artwork to a heat-sensitive surprise mug.

Watch your design appear out of nowhere. This 11oz ceramic mug starts with a dark, solid coating that completely hides your artwork. When you pour in a hot drink—like tea, coffee, or hot water—the heat-sensitive layer clears to reveal your printed image underneath. As the mug cools down, it changes back to black.
It is a brilliant choice for artists looking to sell a fun, novelty product, or for creating custom gifts that surprise the recipient.
