Black and tan Dachshunds are a unique and interesting breed and this distinctive mug is a terrific way to show your love of these remarkable little dogs.

The cast ceramic mug is cleverly designed with a sculpted head that protrudes from just below the rim. The neck extends down to a hand-painted likeness of the body of the dog, in profile, which creates a 3-D effect when viewed from the right angle. This “wiener dog” appears ready to walk right off the cup.

The shape of the mug and the location of the formed head also create an unusual way to grip the mug, with your thumb over the head and the palm of your hand underneath. It’s a surprisingly convenient handle design.

Thanks to the overall glaze, the mug is not only suitable for hot or cold drinks, but it’s also dishwasher and microwave safe. It’s a great dog lover’s gift, a very collectible item, and a great coffee cup. The ceramic mug stands 3.75 inches tall and features the ”Dachshund” name on the back.
