How the previews work

Upload her photo, verify your email, and generate a watermarked preview in the style you picked. You get three free previews a day. The picture you approve is the one printed: it is kept as the print master, without its watermark, and never generated a second time.

  • The mug: 11oz ceramic. White ceramic, sublimation-printed, dishwasher and microwave safe.
  • Best results: Landscape photo. The print wraps the mug, so a wide landscape shot fills it best.
  • UK delivery, 4–9 working days. Made-to-order, boxed and shipped tracked.

Sizes

  • 11oz, ceramic white
  • One size: 11oz white ceramic, carrying the portrait as a full wrap. The looser styles suit a mug better than the fine ones, because the brushwork is what survives at this scale.
  • Fused into the glaze rather than printed onto it, so it is dishwasher and microwave safe. The same locked portrait can go on paper or canvas too — the same file, laid out for each format, not made again.

A painted boat for the morning brew.

A portrait on a mug turns a snapshot into something that looks designed. It sits on the galley shelf or travels to the stern, and it makes an easy gift for someone with a first boat who does not yet have anything on the wall. Because the portrait is locked before printing, you can check how the picture reads before it goes near the ceramic.

Choosing a style and a photograph.

Brushwork is what survives on a mug, so the looser styles do better than the fine ones. Plan for broad shapes: the colour of the hull, the line of the roof, a bank of reeds, the sky. Tiny details such as distant lettering or fine rigging are the first to disappear at this size.

  • Choose a wide landscape photograph, because the portrait wraps the mug.
  • Pick a boat that stands out clearly against water or bank.
  • Avoid a crowded mooring where neighbouring boats blur into the background.

Building a matching set.

The locked portrait can also go on paper or canvas, laid out for each format and not made again, so a mug and a wall piece can show exactly the same picture. That suits a gift where one person receives the mug and another keeps the canvas at home. Check the preview with a critical eye, and if the first style looks too busy, try a looser one before you lock it.

It is a single size, an 11oz white ceramic mug, so your only real choice is the picture.

Questions before you go

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes: the image is sublimation-fused into the glaze, so it's dishwasher and microwave safe and won't peel.

Is the preview the final quality?

The on-screen preview is watermarked and lower-resolution. When you order, we use the exact selected artwork without its watermark before printing.

Returns?

Made-to-order from your photo, so no change-of-mind returns. Arrives damaged? We'll replace it: see our returns page.
