Takahashi Tom Cat Handle Mug Cup Hand Painted San Francisco Cat Lover Coffee

Takahashi Tom Cat Handle Mug Cup Hand Painted San Francisco Cat Lover Coffee. 12 oz. Mug.
This ceramic mug features a hand-painted black and white cat, often depicted with a mischievous or guilty expression, appearing to be climbing into or out of a trash can, which forms the body of the mug. It reflects the playful and humorous style popularized by artists like B. Kliban in the 1970s. This unique and artistic flair sets it apart from typical mugs.
