Ceramic Mugs & Steins with Art by Dave Whitlock

The dramatic reproduction of the vivid colors in Dave's artwork on these beautiful ceramic mugs and steins is possible through the process of Dye-Sublimation Transfer Printing, by Freshwater Studio in Dillon, Montana. The images are applied with heat and pressure resulting in the art becoming part of the actual surface, rather than just a decal.

The mugs are available in large, high-quality 15 oz. Coffee and 18 oz. Stein sizes. Each has a big handle that is comfortable for hands of all sizes. The mugs have an attractive GLOSS finish. Hand washing is suggested.

Both mugs and steins come wrapped in protective foam sheeting and individually packaged in a nice gift box.

Sold individually or now in two different Series:

Trout Grand Slam Series It's a fortunate fly fisher, indeed, who catches the elusive, freshwater grand slam - a rainbow, a brown, a cutthroat and a brook trout - all landed in the same day.

Trout Kids Series These young, wild trout and Grayling are beautifully shaped and colored...and to Dave, who sees the 'personality' in each fish, they exhibit delight and playfulness as they discover their world. Series includes: TK Rainbow, TK Brown, TK Brook, TK Cutthroat, TK Golden and TK Grayling.

Mug and Steins Sets are priced at a 10% discount and you still only pay the minimum shipping fee! Start a collection for yourself and they make great gifts, too.
