From Harlem’s hottest jazz clubs to the Folies Bergère in Paris, legendary chanteuse and entertainer Josephine Baker, “The Bronze Goddess”, made a sensational impact with her creative, sensual style and dynamic, ground-breaking performances.

Our own original illustrations on the mug highlight inspiring details from her extraordinary life. Included are Josephine in her iconic banana skirt from her infamous danse sauvage, an illustration of her beloved pet cheetah, Chiquita, and, in an exciting discovery, the original sheet music from her song J’ai Deux Amours, where it has been revealed she hid secret information when she travelled throughout Europe performing while also working as an anti-Nazi spy for the French Resistance during World War II. This among many brave acts, netted her France's highest military awards, the Legion of Honour and the Resistance Medal.

Size: 15 oz
Finish: Smooth molded ceramic composite

Amelia C. ★★★★★

The design on this mug is so striking and elegant, I love the way the white and gold combo pays tribute to her glamorous era without being too loud. It's the perfect size for my morning coffee, and the gold finish feels well-made and durable. I've gotten so many compliments on it from guests already

Victoria L. ★★★★★

The gold rim catches the light just right, and the white ceramic feels substantial in my hand—it’s like holding a little piece of Jazz Age glamour. I smile every time I sip my morning coffee from it.

Daniel ★★★★★

Got this as a gift for my aunt who loves vintage glamour, and the white and gold design is even more striking in person. It’s surprisingly lightweight yet sturdy enough for daily coffee, and the Josephine Baker vibe makes it feel like a little piece of history on the shelf.
