Blue Jay Mug
with accompanying words from Henry David Thoreau
A jaunty Blue Jay with accompanying words by Henry David Thoreau in a script with a slightly rough and antique handwritten feel appropriate to the quotation. The text reads:
"Hear! hear!" cried the jay from a neighboring tree,
where I'd a twittering for quite some time,
"Winter has a concentrated and nutty kernel
if you know where to look for it."
~ Henry David Thoreau 28 November 1858 journal entry
The Blue Jay was inspired by a 1760s American watercolor by an unknown artist; the chestnut, seed pod and tiny garden spider by late 16th-century works.
It's a joy to bring the art and writings of previous centuries into our own for everyday use and enjoyment. I hope you will enjoy using this mug as much as I enjoyed creating the design.
Species: Blue Jay Cyanocitta cristata
