The fort lauderdale skyline accent mug in Design 2 takes a second single-continuous-line composition of the city and puts it on a white ceramic mug with a black interior and a black handle. Design 2 is a different drawing from Design 1, so if you are comparing the two, look at the compositions and choose the one that reads more like the city to you.
How the Design 2 composition sits on the accent mug
The single-continuous-line technique produces each design in one unbroken mark from start to finish. What you get in Design 2 is a specific selection of the city’s buildings and waterfront, drawn with that method, printed in black on the white exterior of this mug.
The black handle and black interior connect to the black line art on the outside. They answer to the same tone, which is what makes the accent mug feel more resolved than a white mug with a line art print on it.
Three blacks, one white: the balance of the accent mug
The fort lauderdale skyline accent mug has a white exterior, which is what most of the mug’s surface area actually is. The black comes in through the handle you hold, the interior that shows at the rim, and the line art that runs across the white body. Those three separate black elements reinforce each other.
The accent details are specific and mean something relative to the line art. They do not appear for decoration alone.
The city behind the line
Fort Lauderdale’s canal system gives it a character that cities of similar size do not usually have. Neighbourhoods are navigable by boat, which is a lived part of the city’s identity. Towers that were not there twenty years ago now define the downtown profile. Fort Lauderdale sits about 30 miles north of Miami on the Atlantic coast, and the marine industry, the airport, and the beach have each shaped different parts of what the city is.
Size: 11oz
The accent mug is 11oz only. It holds a standard coffee or tea drink and is a comfortable everyday size. The 11oz proportion tends to feel right for a morning mug that you carry around rather than leave on a desk.
If you need a 15oz Fort Lauderdale mug, the white and black versions of the Design 2 skyline are both available in that size.
Care instructions
Dishwasher safe and microwave safe. The black line art, the black interior, and the black handle are all part of the ceramic and hold up through normal use and repeated dishwasher cycles without fading.

Questions
What is different between Design 2 and the other Fort Lauderdale accent mugs?
There are 3 Fort Lauderdale skyline designs available in the accent mug style. Each is a different line-art composition of the city. Design 2 is a distinct drawing from Design 1 and Design 3.
Why is the accent mug only available in 11oz?
The accent style is produced in 11oz only. For a 15oz option, the white mug and black mug versions of the Fort Lauderdale Design 2 are both available in that size.
Is the black handle a painted finish or part of the ceramic?
The black handle colour is part of the ceramic glaze, not a surface paint applied after firing. It will not chip or fade with normal use.
How is the accent mug different from the white mug?
The white mug is all-white ceramic with black line art. The accent mug adds a black interior and a black handle to that, while keeping the white body and the same black line art. It reads as a more detailed object when you hold it.
Embrace simplicity.
