I miss having this item in my house! It became significant to me — perhaps because so many bloggers who mentioned our project used the mug as their one illustration. Anyway, it was tough to mail it to the winning bidder…

I once knew a man whose teeth all had tiny smiles carved onto them. This mug would be perfect for him. He was a pirate.

The significance of this object cannot be overestimated. The story of its creation and utilization, while familiar to many, remains virtually unexplored in the popular literature. Yet the seller leaves some ambiguity in his description. What, for example, are we to make of the apparent irregularity along the mug’s rim? Serious scholars agree that it is this very imperfection– this bold yet subtle reference to Compostio’s Les Dents, les Dents, les Dents de Vie that Wilton originally found so compelling about this piece. Greenman’s omission leads the potential buyer to suspect that the rim is chipped, which would negate the powerful, even sinister influence of the mug as cinematic icon.

This will go so nicely with my ear-shaped tankard.

This object would first brighten up, then, after a while, preside over, and finally dominate utterly any room and perhaps even any enclosed structure in which it was placed.
