About This Design

Once the Old Fool has Drank his Wine mug

Once the Old Fool has Drank his Wine mug

Once the Old Fool has Drank his Wine mug: This is a vintage art/ Illistration from: The English Dance of Death book published 1816, authored by Thomas Rowlandson, with metrical illustrations, by William Combe circa 1815. Here you have the man and woman of the house sitting in the living room, he is much older than her and is drinking, her younger lover awaits outside the window for the dink to put him to sleep as death pours a draught into the cup from above. Dance of Death, or Danse Macabre art: you see Death approach people of all stations and walks of life, reaffirming that Death is the great leveler/equalizer. They were produced as an artistic genre of religious works from the 1400s thru the 1800s, period to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain are the glories/pleasures of earthly life.

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.
