Pour your soul into every cup.

For the listener who would take a late set over an early night, this jazz coffee mug wears its feelings as a retro badge: the word JAZZ, the word HEART and two hands making a heart between them. It is a love note to mellow mornings and an easy present for whoever keeps the house full of music.

The design: the Jazz Heart badge

The artwork is built like a vintage emblem. JAZZ arches across the top and HEART sits underneath, both in bold, condensed block capitals in a cream tone with a thin dark outline. Between the two words, a pair of hands meets at the fingertips and thumbs to shape a heart, drawn in a retro illustrated style with warm tan skin tones, dark line work and a blue cuff at each wrist. The space inside the heart is left open, so the mug itself shows through.

Around it runs a shield-style outline in orange-red, doubled along the top and pointed at the bottom, with ribbon tails in the same shade reaching out at each end behind the words. Small cream stars sit beside JAZZ and near the hands. Cream, orange-red, tan and denim blue are the only colors, which gives the badge the feel of a patch sewn onto an old denim jacket.

No horn, keyboard or sheet music is pictured. The gesture carries it instead: this is music you feel in the chest before you can explain it, and the hands make the sign for exactly that.

A jazz coffee mug for slow pours and second cups

• The badge is printed twice, once per side, so it faces out in your left hand or your right; the strip between the two prints stays plain black
• Glossy ceramic that sets the cream lettering and orange-red outline off sharply
• Sturdy enough to be the cup you use daily instead of the one saved for guests
• The material contains neither lead nor BPA
• Goes in the dishwasher after the last sip and in the microwave when a refill needs warming

Who it's for

Jazz people of every stripe: the vinyl digger, the weekend club regular, the band-room teacher, the student working through the standards and the parent who plays ballads while making breakfast. It fits next to a turntable, in a practice room or at the office. Thoughtful moments to give one include a recital night, the end of a school term, an anniversary with a shared song or a farewell from the band.

Quick answers

Is there an instrument in the design?

No. The badge is lettering, two hands shaping a heart, a shield outline and a few stars. The word JAZZ is what ties it to the music, so it suits fans of any instrument.

Does it name a band, club or festival?

No. JAZZ and HEART are the only words. There is no city, year or venue on it, so it fits swing, bebop and fusion fans equally.

Is it meant for musicians or for listeners?

Either. A drummer, a singer or a pianist can claim it, and so can someone who has never played a note but keeps the radio on the jazz station.

Do the two sizes carry the same artwork?

Yes. The same badge appears on the smaller and the larger mug; the only thing that changes is how much it holds.
