This 16oz cobalt blue glass features stunning fluorescent pink and green inks. It is designed for hand wash only; please avoid placing it in the dishwasher or microwave, as the fluorescent inks are heat-sensitive and will be removed if exposed to dishwasher cycles. The glass itself is colored, not stained, sprayed, or painted, ensuring the color will not fade over time. It is both food and liquid safe, making it perfect for everyday use.
The artwork on this glass has a rich history. In 1977, artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ) illustrated two black-and-white posters to promote Bones wheels. About a year later, George Powell commissioned VCJ to create a new project that transformed the Bones theme into a skateboarding skeleton concept. To make the image as realistic as possible, George bought a life-sized skeleton named Rosie from a medical supply shop. After several hours of posing and rigging, Rosie was positioned as a skateboarding skeleton, and VCJ brought the vision to life. Completed near the end of 1978, this piece became a Bones sticker and T-shirt graphic, marking the first illustration under the new Powell Peralta brand. The artwork was originally released in 1979.
