A face worth looking at twice

A face that winks back
The wink is hand-sculpted into the body, not printed on. The blue polka-dot bow sits right where the handle meets the cup, so the face and bow read as one character.

Built from a real era
Bailey Company made this ceramic in the 1980s and 1990s. That collectible backstory is what sets it apart from a mug picked off a shelf. 'Yum.' is printed inside the bowl, so the message is waiting on your last sip.

Finished to look good
The glossy glaze is pale and even, the black rim stays sharp against the white, and the raised dotted pedestal foot lifts the cup off the table. These are the details of a piece that was finished with care.
Keep the glaze sharp
- Hand wash
Warm water and mild soap keep the glaze and black rim looking sharp.
- Dry thoroughly
Towel dry right away so the dotted pedestal foot does not hold water.
- Gentle heat
Warm coffee on the stove or in short microwave bursts, never a long reheat.
- Shelve it
Keep it on a shelf rather than stacked, so the sculpted face stays free of knocks.

Questions and answers
It is a working cup. Coffee, tea and Baileys all go in it. Hand washing is the safe default for a vintage glaze, and drying it right away keeps the black rim and the raised foot in good shape.
275 ml is a generous espresso-based drink or a small coffee pour. It is smaller than a standard mug, so a full pot will take a refill or two. That is the trade for a cup with character.
There is no confirmed dishwasher or microwave rating for this vintage piece. Hand wash it, and warm drinks on the stove or in short microwave bursts instead of long reheats.
Yes. It is ceramic produced by Bailey Company in the 1980s and 1990s, with the Baileys branding and 'Yum.' printed inside the bowl. Pieces from this era are scarce, so each one is a find rather than a restock.
You are paying for premium ceramic, hand-sculpted detail and a collectible era. A plain mug is replaced every few years and forgotten by the next gift. This cup gets used every morning and kept on a shelf after, which makes the cost per use hard to beat.
