Five sardines and small fish swim across a textured cream ground in muted blue ink, rendered in a classical natural history illustration style with fine linear detail and subtle cross-hatching. The word "SARDINES" appears below in bold red capitals, grounding the composition with a vintage commercial sensibility that evokes mid-century packaging and print artwork. 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.
