Vintage patent diagrams for basketball equipment fill a black ground with white line-drawn technical illustrations, including hoop assemblies, ball cross-sections, nets, and court layouts rendered in the precise, annotated style of early 20th-century patent documentation. The composition arranges multiple views and components across the surface with small text labels and patent dates, creating a dense, educational quality that celebrates the sport's mechanical ingenuity. Printed on premium ceramic and made to order, dishwasher and microwave safe, with the artwork wrapping a full 360 degrees. The first cup of the day carrying an artist's point of view instead of a logo.
