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

Andrew ★★★★★

The gold rim catches the light beautifully, and the retro design feels like a little piece of Josephine Baker’s era sitting on my desk. It's sturdy enough for daily coffee, and I love that it sparks a conversation every time someone sees it.

Jason H. ★★★★★

I was a little unsure about the gold trim when I ordered it, but in person it really pops against the white porcelain and feels elegant. The portrait of Josephine Baker is stunning, and it's a great conversation piece for my morning coffee.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The portrait of Josephine Baker on this mug is stunning, and the white and gold design feels classy enough to sit out on my desk all day. I smile every time I reach for my coffee, it's a small piece of history I get to use.
