A Saint Albert the Great mug depicting the teacher

The representation shows the saint with a mitre and Dominican habit, leaning on a desk before an open book. The composition connects study with his episcopal ministry. It may appeal to someone who appreciates images of Christian writers or become a keepsake of a period of study, a teacher or a reading you have discussed together. Your own words can explain that personal connection.

Albert taught Thomas Aquinas and worked in centres of learning in Paris and Cologne. His writings covered philosophy, theology and knowledge of living beings and minerals. The breadth of those interests explains the name Universal Doctor by which he is remembered. His own work and his relationship with the Aristotelian tradition provide a context for choosing this gift for someone interested in medieval culture.

Life milestones on the reverse

The Saint Albert the Great mug includes his name, Lauingen as his birthplace and death in Cologne on 15 November 1280. Beatification in 1622 and canonization in 1931 appear as distinct milestones. The commemoration on 15 November completes the composition, connecting the scholar’s image with the places and events associated with his memory. Choose it for his feast, an Albert’s name day or a gift connected with study.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles. Selecting Both sides displays two opposing views of the same design, with rotation still available. Choose the handle orientation for a right-handed or left-handed user. The number of mugs you wish to receive is selected separately from the views shown.

We print the composition by sublimation. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview. Choose this gift for the name, history or devotion that connects you with its recipient, and accompany it with a few personal words about why you thought of them. Our collection of religious mugs includes other figures and celebrations, so you can dedicate each gift to someone in your family or community.
