Greek Architectural Orders: Column Capitals Coffee Mug

Greek Architectural Orders: Column Capitals Coffee Mug

When the Ancient Greeks constructed temples thousands of years ago, they were very precise in their layouts and measurements for every aspect of these buildings. There were three main architectural "orders" known as: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The differences in the styles are most easily recognised in the column capitals (the decoration on top of the columns) and have been used in architecture ever since. The Doric column capital is the simplest, and is formed from a block-shaped slab, the abacus, and a circular 'cushion', the echinus. The Ionic column capital comprised three parts: the echinus and the abacus (which are proportionately thinner than those on the Doric column capital and usually have carved decoration), and the volute which terminates in eyes. The Corinthian column capital is a variant of the Ionic style and is essentially a sculpted composition that takes the form of a basket that is surrounded by acanthus leaves. The whole composition is crowned by an abacus with concave sides and relief decoration.

Creator Review
The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee. Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
