Saint Frances of Rome mug with Spadarino's image

The painting by Giovanni Antonio Galli, known as Spadarino, presents Frances with a white veil and halo, beside a youthful figure with a halo who looks towards her. The angel's companionship belongs to the devotional tradition associated with the saint. It is an image for someone who appreciates this way of depicting spiritual closeness in art.

Frances was born in Rome in 1384. Her life combined family responsibilities with caring for sick people and those in need. After being widowed, she joined the community of oblates at Tor de' Specchi, which she had helped establish. Her story can give meaning to a gift for someone inspired by a faith lived through different stages of life.

Her life and canonisation on the reverse

The Saint Frances of Rome mug bears her name, her birth in Rome in 1384 and her death in the same city on 9 March 1440. It also includes her canonisation in May 1608 and her commemoration on 9 March. The image and details occupy different sides that you can inspect before ordering. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview.

The 3D viewer lets you rotate the composition. Both sides displays two opposing views of the same design, retaining rotation so you can look from other angles. You can select the handle orientation for right-handed or left-handed use and choose separately the quantity you wish to receive. The views help you inspect the illustration and reverse together.

The design is printed using sublimation. Choose the Saint Frances of Rome mug for a name-day greeting, to thank someone for their companionship or to recall a shared devotion. The religious mugs collection offers more names so you can prepare each gift with its recipient in mind and choose the story that connects you.
