Contemporary coverage of the release describes the production version as having a satin emerald/jade exterior and glossy black interior.This mug is not part of that 50-piece production edition.It is a pre-production proof, and the bottom markings identify it as 1 of 3. Even more unusually, this particular proof is 1:1 Jade/Black, identifying this specific jade-and-black treatment as a unique colorway.The combination of the 1-of-3 proof status and 1:1 colorway designation makes this an unusual piece of Taboo Relics production history rather than simply another example of the finished retail mug.For the Taboo Relics CollectorThis is an opportunity to acquire a prototype/pre-production example of one of Taboo Relics’ most recognizable mug designs, rather than a standard retail-edition piece.The bottom markings are especially important: 1 of 3 (1:1 Jade/Black).ConditionPlease examine all photographs carefully.
