- Description
- A blue bone china mug from the Wedgwood X Sheila Bridges collaboration, featuring the basketball vignette from Bridges' Harlem Toile de Jouy design.
- This is a round, blue mug with tall, straight sides and a curved handle. One side depicts a vignette of three young men playing basketball. The men wear 18th century clothing and play beneath a tree with the basket suspended from a limb by ribbon. A balustrade is visible in the background behind them. The only color in the otherwise black and white design is the reddish-brown basketball and the yellow of one of the player's shirts. The mug has a black rim and black edging along the bottom edge of the mug and the sides of the handle.
- On the underside of the mug is a reddish-brown color basketball. There is printed black text in the center that reads [WEDGWOOD / X / SHEILA BRIDGES / Bone China / Dishwasher Safe].
