Super Mario ceramic mug

This product is a ceramic coffee mug featuring Super Mario, the iconic mascot of Nintendo. Originally created by Shigeru Miyamoto in Japan in 1981 (first appearing in Donkey Kong), Super Mario has grown into one of the world's most recognizable entertainment franchises.

While the intellectual property and brand are Japanese, Nintendo licenses these characters to various kitchenware and merchandise manufacturers globally. The vast majority of standard licensed ceramic mugs of this type are manufactured in China due to large-scale production facilities, though smaller licensed batches may be produced in other regions. Nintendo Co., Ltd. remains the ultimate owner and protector of all Mario-related branding, and they manage the brand from their global headquarters in Kyoto, Japan.
