Greater Spear-Nosed Bat Vintage Illustration Frosted Glass Mug 11 oz

The singular beautiful centerpiece of this mug is a Greater Spear-Nosed Bat (Phyllostomus hastatus), as depicted in 1821 by illustrator Edouard d'Alton. The osteological rendering shows the bat's full skeletal structure against the silhouette of its full body shape.

The sturdy 11 ounce frosted glass mug lends the illustration a dreamy vintage softness on the mug's exterior, which shows up stronger and more saturated through the clear side of the mug's interior. Please note that while forced perspective may make the mug look as if it has slanted walls in some of the pictures, it is in fact a straight-sided mug! Please refer to the video for the most detailed view of this item.

The species featured are the brown long-eared bat, lesser long-eared bat, spectral bat, greater spear-nosed bat, Antillean ghost-faced bat, wrinkle-faced bat, Mexican funnel-eared bat, and thumbless bat.

Hand washing is recommended; the high heat of dishwashers can cause designs applied to dishware to fade over time, so hand washing will help keep your mug looking great long-term.
