Saint Vincent Ferrer mug

The Saint Vincent Ferrer mug brings together a memory of Valencia and Dominican tradition as a gift for someone who shares this devotion. If you are choosing a present for Vincent, add a personal message when you give it and explain why you chose this preacher. His image and the details on the reverse identify the saint and give context to his life.

Saint Vincent Ferrer mug with a painting by Bellini

The design reproduces the saint's figure from Giovanni Bellini's polyptych. The black and white habit and open book refer to his Dominican life, marked by study and words addressed to others. The image can appeal to someone who enjoys religious art and wishes to keep it present in an everyday object.

Vincent was born in Valencia, taught logic and theology and travelled through different regions of Europe as a preacher. He lived during the Western Schism and participated in events of his time, including the Compromise of Caspe. In his final years he reached Brittany, where he died in Vannes. This path can give meaning to a gift for someone connected with Valencia, a Dominican community or his name day.

Valencia and Vannes on the reverse

The Saint Vincent Ferrer mug gives Valencia as his birthplace, his death in Vannes on 5 April 1419 and his canonisation in 1455 on the reverse. The indicated commemoration is 5 April. Read the composition before ordering to check how it accompanies the painting. Choose it for a name day, a family visit or a thank-you gift, with the recipient's personal story in mind.

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. The printed text is in Spanish. 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.
