Shih Tzu lovers and curio collectors will appreciate this exceptional ceramic coffee mug. It’s dishwasher and microwave safe, and a wonderful tribute to this special dog breed.

The gently tapered mug is about 3.75” tall and has a slightly flared rim. Hand painted on the side is the body of a Shih Tzu that aligns with a molded, three-dimensional head protruding from just below the rim. The perspective of the painted body combines with the head for a realistic3-D effect. Also painted on the side is the name of the breed.

The head also serves as an unusual handle. Nestled in the crook of your thumb and palm, it creates a remarkably comfortable and natural grip.

This coffee cup is a striking addition to any dog lover’s collection and looks great on the curio shelf, kitchen counter, or filled with your morning coffee. It’s a great gift for the Shih Tzu owner who has everything else.
