A specially designed mug featuring M.K. Perker’s “Neptune,” a toy exhibited at the Istanbul Toy Museum.

The Story of the Toy: Before Sunay Akın’s circumcision, he is taken to a photographer in Trabzon. The photographer places a toy ship in the five-year-old boy’s hand as part of the photograph he is about to take. Believing the ship is a circumcision gift, Sunay finds it difficult to part with the toy. But 37 years later, he finds the toy ship named “Neptune” at an antique shop in Germany. After paying for the ship, Sunay Akın fears that the antique dealer will follow him, claiming he has changed his mind about selling the toy, and runs away from the shop. Neptune is once again in Sunay Akın’s arms.

The Bonna Premium mug is made of porcelain and decorated using the decal transfer printing technique. The mug has a capacity of 30 cc.
