Creature Comforts!

Looking for those perfect gifts for gardeners or bird lovers?  Artists or classicists? We’ve got you covered!

Check out these two spectacular fresco mug designs available only in the Emporium Romanum shop at CafePress.com

Your choice!  Two beautiful bird images wrap gracefully around gleaming white ceramic mugs. Two designs come in two sizes. Choose the regular 11 oz. size mug or a heartier 15 oz. size.

Our Yellow Bird design features a tawny, watchful bird amid shadowy foliage. This charming detail is found in the Garden Triclinium fresco in the House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii.

Our Red Bird design captures a sweet, hungry bird eyeing his next bite from a scattering of figs.  This lovely fresco detail is from the luxurious Roman seaside Villa Poppaea, Oplontis, Italy.

We are thrilled to feature these two stunning photographs by CANE members Paul Langford and Emil Peñarubia on our Emporium Romanum drinkware and puzzles.
