Bird Count Enamel Mug

Two small birds perch above a pair of green binoculars on Bird Count, a 12 fl oz enamel mug. Rust-red and slate-blue plumage bring two different colors to the leafy branch, while the broad lenses anchor the illustration below.

The picture brings together the looking and the thing being looked for. It is a fitting motif for a birdwatcher's kitchen shelf or for someone who keeps an eye on the garden between other tasks. The birds are part of a fixed decorative illustration, with no lettering competing for space.

This mug is made from stainless steel with an enamel coating and a rounded stainless steel rim. Its 12 fl oz capacity gives the illustrated field kit a place in an everyday tea or coffee routine.
