Portuguese blue and white wall tiles with angels espresso cup
Blue and white patterned tiles have become synonymous with Portugal. Portuguese wall tiles of Capela das Almas de Santa Catarina - St Catherine's Chapel - in the city of Porto, Portugal. This chapel is famous for its exterior use of azulejos of a religious nature.
Capela das Almas (Church of the Soules) exterior wall is covered with blue and white tiles, more than 10,000. This chapel was remodeled in 1801 and the tiles on the exterior were only added in 1929. The blue and white tiles have become the most dominant trend. This is a reproduction of a photo I took so you'll notice the irregular surface due to the passage of time.
The tiles on the facade portray the life of two saints adored at Capela das Almas: Santa Catarina and São Francisco de Assis. These two angels and the fountain pouring water are a small portion of it. The phrase O jacto milagroso de uma fonte translates to The miraculous jet of a fountain. Above it, there's a scene representing the miracle of water. The farmer, to whom Francis lent his mule as a mount, was tormented by thirst. Water comes bubbling out of the rocks in answer to the Saint's prayer and the farmer drinks. The two Franciscans comment on the scene.
This product is ideal to send/offer to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to a Portuguese American or someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions or the beauty of azulejos.

I love this espresso mug! It's big enough for a double espresso, not too heavy though and just looks cute. The sloth on it looks friendly, almost as if it was smiling and together with the white hearts on the right and left hand side, it is nothing but very cute. Also very pleased with the intensity of the colors. Colors are really good. Print is sharp.

I am the artist who created this image.
I have not ordered an espresso cup before.
I have ordered other zazzle mugs before and we use them constantly at home.
I love these small cups, I will be giving them as presents to everyone from now on.
The product arrived in the UK 7 days from ordering, impressive.
I ordered these cups from StrangeStore for an exhibition of my artwork and the zazzle have attracted so much attention. As a long term professional illustrator and designer I have very exacting standards, so I was very interested to see how this design would print.
It is simply brilliant.
The printing is awesome!
I have worked with top pottery companies in the UK and this printing is really very good indeed. I have no hesitation displaying this product right next to the original artwork, it's that good.

This purchase was everything I hoped for!!!! Absolutely perfect. Absolutely identical to preview imaging. Great color, image, size, everything.
My only complain would be I wish the shipping was faster but in the future I will just order earlier. Amazing!!!!! Colors and images were exactly as displayed online.
