In short: white ceramic mug carrying a watercolour illustration of pink boxing gloves hung on a ribbon, with the line “This Princess wears Boxing Gloves” in script. Capacity 330 ml / 11 oz, white throughout including the handle. €29, free standard shipping.
The artwork is a watercolour illustration: two boxing gloves hung on a ribbon, in gradients of pink and peach, outlines drawn by hand, motion strokes pencilled on either side. The line “This Princess wears Boxing Gloves” frames it in English script, over two lines.
The gap is the message
Fine script, pastel pink, the word Princess — then Boxing Gloves. The whole message sits in that gap: what looks delicate hits hard. It is the exact line women who box hear most often, turned into a claim. A mug that makes the person receiving it smile, because she has heard the phrase before.
A gift that lands
This is the object to give a boxer, a coach or a friend who has just started. There is no size and no colour to guess, it sits on a desk or in a kitchen, and the message reads instantly for the person holding it and for anyone who sees it.
It is also one of the few boxing objects designed for women without stopping at “the same thing in pink”: here the pink is in the illustration, not in a colour option.

Technical specifications
Good to know before ordering
The all white body carries the watercolour. Body, handle and interior are white, which lets the pink and peach gradients come through with nothing competing.
A watercolour is hand washed. Warm soapy water and a soft sponge, or a delicate cycle: that keeps the gradients at their original intensity for years.
Care
Hand wash in warm soapy water, or a delicate dishwasher cycle. Avoid abrasive sponges on the illustration. On a white mug, tea or coffee marks at the base come away with a little diluted bicarbonate left to work for an hour, without scrubbing.
FAQ
What does the mug say?
“This Princess wears Boxing Gloves”, in script across two lines around the illustration. The line plays on the gap between the delicate look of the calligraphy and the reality of the sport.
Does it come in other colours?
This one is white throughout, handle and interior included: that is what lets the pink watercolour come through fully. For pink on the object itself, our two tone boxing mug has a pink interior and handle.
What is the capacity?
330 ml / 11 oz, the standard size of a European coffee mug, which is one long black coffee or two espressos.
Will the illustration keep its colour?
A hand wash in warm soapy water, or a delicate cycle, keeps the pink and peach gradients at their original intensity for years. Avoid abrasive sponges on the illustration.
Is it a good gift for a woman who boxes?
No size and no colour to guess, an object used every morning, and a line women who train recognise straight away. It suits a beginner as readily as a competitor.
Does it suit a teenager?
Yes, the illustrated register and the message work well for a young boxer. The mug is standard ceramic: handle it like any other piece of crockery.
