SAM exclusive porcelain mug featuring Dispersed Objects with Brass Gong , 1948, by artist Alexander Calder. A third-generation American sculptor, Alexander Calder studied mechanical engineering before studying art. In the 1920s-30s while in Paris, he developed two distinctive genres of sculpture: mobiles, or sculptures that move, and stabiles, which are stationary. Image of the sculpture is beautifully reproduced on a 14 oz porcelain mug. Comes nested in a custom box with matching image. Photo o
