BAROQUE BALLET DANCERS MUG

A classic white mug with baroque ballet dancers from the French court of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Crafted from durable white ceramic, this 11 oz mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe. 11 Fluid oz.; 3.75" (H) x 3.25" (W).

THE HISTORY: Under Louis XIV, ballet transformed from court pastime to codified art. The king himself danced (most famously as the Sun in "Le Ballet de la Nuit" in 1653) using performance to radiate majesty and order. Nobles trained as dutiful courtiers of grace, every gesture a sign of loyalty. And from those candlelit halls unfurled a world of silk-whispered steps and ardent glances, where devotion, beauty, and desire pirouetted into legend.
