Description This mug was acquired at an estate sale of a longtime collector in Western Illinois. It is appealing, desirable & collectible.

The classic smiley dates back to 1963 in Worcester, Massachusetts, when graphic designer Harvey Ball was commissioned by State Mutual Life Assurance Company to create an image to boost staff morale. Apparently, Ball spent just 10 minutes drawing up a deconstructed smiling face on yellow paper that he chose simply “because it was sunshiny and bright.” Ball was paid a whopping $45 for his visual. Today is is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.

We present this piece exactly as it was when acquired.
No attempts to clean this item have been made by us. There are no chips or cracks. The cup is 3 5/8\" tall. This will make a fine addition to any home or collection.
