Official 2018 Christkindlmarket Chicago Commemorative Heart-Shaped Mug
Bring home the cozy nostalgia of the winter holidays with this highly collectible, dated 2018 souvenir mug from Chicago's historic Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza. Famously breaking away from the traditional boot shape, the 2018 edition features an adorable heart-shaped rim and base that makes it a standout addition to any annual collection.
Design Highlights:
- Unique Shape: Sculpted in a beautiful heart-shaped configuration with a chocolate-brown glazed exterior and a contrasting pastel mint green interior glaze.
- Inside Rim Detail: Elegantly printed with the German cursive phrase "Ich liebe dich" (I love you) on the interior rim wall.
- Detailed Holiday Artwork: Showcases a gorgeous, whimsical wraparound print of festive wooden market stalls (featuring "Ornaments" and "Pretzels" signage), local visitors, a traditional holiday nutcracker, and the towering Chicago skyline at night under a starlit sky.
- Dated Tree Accent: Stamped with the official "2018" year right on the illustrated plaza Christmas tree.
