Whimsical Italian handpainted baby giraffe ceramic mug

Oh, sweetness! Cute as a baby giraffe, literally. So endearing is this mug. It was painted lovingly by an Italian artist who may have had a child in mind-- so extra care was taken to paint the many spots, the whimsical little wiry tail, and the bashful expression. This hand painted mug would make a charming pencil cup or vase, for the child in us. Measures approximately 3.5" high, 3.25" diameter, 10 oz fill. New condition.
