Elevate your morning ritual with a piece of functional art that tells a story of global exploration. The L’Objet Grand Tour Mug, is a centerpiece of a collection that pays homage to the 18th-century “Grand Tour,” where travelers traversed Europe to collect botanical studies and artistic treasures. At Bering’s, we have always valued pieces that bring a sense of history and world-class craftsmanship to the home, and this mug—with its intricate patterns inspired by the ancient pietra dura (stone inlay) technique—is a perfect example of that commitment to excellence.
The beauty of the Grand Tour Mug lies in its extraordinary visual texture. Using a sophisticated multi-layer decal process, L’Objet has captured the deep, multidimensional look of inlaid semi-precious stones like malachite and jasper. Crafted from fine Portuguese porcelain and finished with hand-applied 24K gold accents on the rim and handle, it offers a luxurious weight and a luminous clarity. We know our customers appreciate a touch of the extraordinary in their everyday lives; this mug transforms a simple cup of coffee or tea into a moment of refined contemplation, echoing the curated elegance we’ve championed at Bering’s since 1940.
Why you’ll love it:
- Historic Artistic Inspiration: Features a design inspired by traditional stone-inlay art, offering a “jeweled” look that is both modern and timeless.
- Hand-Applied 24K Gold: The handle and rim are detailed with genuine 24-karat gold for a radiant, high-end finish that glows in the light.
- Luminous Portuguese Porcelain: Known for its superior strength and delicate translucency, this porcelain provides a premium sensory experience.
- Generous Capacity (12 oz): Thoughtfully designed to be comfortable in the hand while offering a sophisticated silhouette for your beverage service.
The Grand Tour Mug is more than just a vessel; it is a modern heirloom designed for those who find beauty in the details. We are proud to offer this exquisite piece as part of the Bering’s collection, helping you start every day with a touch of worldly elegance.
