This reptile might not be known for its speed, but products that feature turtles are sure fast-sellers!
These wonderful creatures – both turtles and tortoises – have long been favorites for many reasons, even before they joined the ranks of crime-fighting superheroes.
Whether we talk about land animals or sea turtles, we love to see these creatures that move slowly across the land and carry their homes with them on their backs. Sea turtles have become a symbol of wildlife conservation efforts because of the challenges to their ongoing existence as a species both on land and in the sea.
These are peaceful and quiet creatures that lumber along or glide through the sea – but always find a place in our hearts! Let’s look at some of our favorite cups and mugs featuring turtles and tortoises.
Swimming Sea Turtle Coffee or Tea Ceramic Mug
If you want a cool-looking mug for your hot drink, you’ll love this mug with its brilliant underwater colors!
This 16 ounce mug features a wraparound design. The highlight, of course, is our featured animal – in this case, a sea turtle swimming underwater. It’s complemented by various underwater plants and small fish.
The mug measures about 4.75″ high by 4″ high.
The mug is dishwasher and microwave safe.
With its relaxing blues and greens, this is great when you don’t want to see anything too jarring while sipping your morning brew. And overall it’s awesome just because of its simple beauty without needing to jump out at you.
Tervis Guy Harvey Save Our Seas Turtle Tumbler
Here’s a fantastic tumbler with a fantastic message!
This design from Guy Harvey includes the artist’s name as well as the words “Save Our Seas” – something we all need to be mindful of!
The colors are rich and vibrant. The sea waters are a deep blue and the turtle yellow with an orange tint and black. These are offset by the milder greens of sea plants.
The design wraps around the cup.
The tumbler holds 16 ounces and does a decent job of keeping hot beverages hot and cold ones cold. The top is black.
Tervis, the manufacturer, backs their product with an unconditional lifetime guarantee. For safety, these tumblers are made without BPA and melamine.
Tervis Simply Southern All Turtle Tumbler
Here’s another great tumbler from Tervis. This one though, is larger and has more subtle colors.
The tumbler features a wraparound design featuring blues and pinks for a calm, relaxing look. The words “Simply Southern” appear in white relief on a black rectangle.
The artwork here is unique and very attractive, and you’ll surely draw attention wherever you use this travel mug. The pink top further highlights its attractiveness.
The tumbler holds 24 ounces – a great size when you want to have your warm or cold beverage on hand for a good part of the day. It’s just over 8 inches tall and about 4 inches wide.
Cape Shore Harbor Mug – By The Shore
The sea, the beach, the shore – they’re a great source of peace for many. And this mug really captures the colors and images so well!
The turtle is just one of many creatures featured here – you’ll also see a variety of shells, a crab, a sand dollar and more.
With its curved lip, the mug has a kind of classic feel about it.
It measures about 4″ high by 4.5″ across (including the handle).
This piece is great for your beach house or vacation, or just to keep your thoughts on upcoming vacations!
Tervis Sea Turtle Tumbler
It may seem that we have a secondary theme running here, but Tervis is definitely one of the best makers of drinkware featuring turtles!
This 24-ounce tumbler is clear and features a simple sea turtle image on one side. Despite its simplicity, it’s still a beautiful and sturdy piece that will make a great addition to your kitchen supplies.
This piece is best for cold drinks like juice or soda, although it can also help keep your hot drinks hot.
The tumbler measures about 8 inches high. Like other Tervis products, it’s BPA free and also has a lifetime guarantee.
Wrapping It Up
Both sea and land turtles have a certain charm and a recognized place in everything from conservation to pop culture. Remind yourself of the apparently peaceful lives of these animals with a cup or mug that features them! You’ll love it and it will help you slow down too!
