(by CanadianMoose.com) We are now getting e-mails from people who have acquired 'inexpensive' imported (glass, acrylic, plastic) versions of the Moose Mugs, only to find something wrong with them (uneven eyes, crooked antlers, etc.). Also, with all the recent 'recalls' of products from overseas (made with dangerous chemicals: lead, etc.), be very wary of where these imported versions are made - especially if you are going to drink from them!! Beware of cheap imports and copies: ask those vendors where their products are made. For all the details on poor 'copies,' please see our "About ME" page. Remember: You truly only get what you pay for. 1. Our glass Moose Mugs are hand-made in the USA. 2. Our glass Moose Mugs are produced one at a time and are built to last. (strong design + attention to detail = quality assurance) 3. Our glass Moose Mugs are hand-made by the original artist, who made the original mugs for the movie back in 1989! (a professional glassblower, who worked as a glass artist at Disneyland for over 10 years!) A worthy investment indeed! These mugs will increase in value! Why take a chance buying cheap glass, acrylic, or plastic items when, for only a little more, you can purchase HIGH QUALITY GLASS Moose Mugs? THE LOWEST BIDDER"It's unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot, it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better."John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) You are bidding on a SET OF 2 (two) brand new MOOSE MUGS (made of hand-blown glass, by the ORIGINAL ARTIST), WITH FREE Shipping & Handling (S&H) to Canada or the USA (surcharge for shipping to Hawaii and Alaska) AND FREE insurance! No hidden or extra fees are charged - what you bid is what you pay! This set of 2 Moose Mugs normally sells for CDN$180.00 on select websites and in retail stores. We have them delivered right to your door, S&H and Insurance included (see details below)! Please note: For more details OR if you would like to read about our very cool matching Punch Bowl Antlers, please visit our "About ME" page. These Moose Mugs make beautiful gifts for Christmas, Thanksgiving, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, ... any occasion! LOOKING for moose eggnog cups/mugs/glasses/goblets, similar to the Marty (Martie) the Moose from Walley (Wally) World ones, as seen in the Warner Bros. 1989 smash hit movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation?" In the movie, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) drank eggnog from glass moose-shaped mugs (at Clark's house, during the Christmas holidays). Well, look no further! Our CanadianMoose.com version of glass Moose Mugs are painstakingly hand-made (in very small quantities), by a professional glassblower, near San Diego, California, USA. The Moose Mugs (cups, glasses, steins, goblets, punch bowls, etc.) are made from a brandy snifter, in the shape of a moose head, with antlers on either side (for handles) and a moose snout (mouth/nose) and eyes in the front. The moose, as represented in these cups, has many times been mistaken for deer / reindeer / elk / elg, also. These Moose Mugs have now become Christmas seasonal holiday collectibles (real collector's items). And now, being made by the original artist, these Moose Mugs have become even more desirable. Don't miss out on the opportunity to obtain your own set! SIZE(please note that all the dimensions for the Moose Mugs are approximate and may vary slightly from mug to mug) Mug width (from antler tip to antler tip): 8-1/2" Mug height: 5" (to top of antlers) Mug depth (front to back, includes snout): 3-1/2" Mug weight: just over 1/2 lb. The goblet (of each Moose Mug) is close to a 6 or 7 ounce snifter-style glass, with a diameter (at widest point) of 2-3/4", with a mouth diameter (of glass opening) of 2", with a height of 4", and a glass thickness of approximately 1/8". DETAILS This is the "Cadillac" of hand-formed glassware: completely custom designed/stylized, completely hand/mouth-blown (even the brandy snifter is hand-made)! Each Moose Mug is mouth-blown from molten glass and is carefully shaped into a snifter-style goblet, with foot (Note: our stem has been made thicker than the original 'thin' stem design - the original 'thin' stem design was found to be too weak for repeated use). The snout is added, the antlers are precisely shaped and attached, and then the nostrils and mouth are cleverly formed. Finally, the eyes are added (with eyelids), bringing the Moose Mug to life. These Moose Mugs are destined to become family heirlooms as you are obtaining highly-detailed pieces of hand/mouth-blown glass - almost too nice to use for eggnog! You might have to get one for each of the kids. It could save on lots of arguments in the future! Be the first on the block to get your very own set of these unique mugs made by the original artist!
