A specially designed mug featuring M.K. Perker’s “Alien” toy, exhibited at the Istanbul Toy Museum, rendered in his signature style.

The Story of the Toy:  Alien figures were influenced by comic book culture. Traces of this influence can be seen in the first alien toys produced under the light of the comic book world, which was born in 1895. World War I is known as the “War of the Bayonets.” The alien figure created in the 1920s, which looks as if it has stepped out of the pages of a comic book, is therefore performing a bayonet charge.

The mug is made of Bonna Premium porcelain using the in-glaze transfer printing technique. The mug has a capacity of 30 cc.
