Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Coffee Mug | Minnesota Watercolor

from $16.75

A sunset reflected on water can outlast the photograph that caught it. So Nick Scacco painted Minneapolis’s Chain of Lakes in watercolor, holding its sunset color, quiet water, and distant skyline together. This mug carries his original Minneapolis Chain of Lakes watercolor bold and uninterrupted across glossy ceramic made for slow Minneapolis lake mornings.

Why This Mug Stands Out

broad reflective water opens between low wooded shorelines and a distant city skyline.

Product Highlights

  • Original watercolor of Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park
  • Golden water, wooded shorelines, distant skyline, and cobalt-coral clouds
  • Bold continuous panorama
  • Golden sunset spreading beneath deep blue and coral clouds
  • Gold, coral, cobalt blue, turquoise, and deep green
  • Bright, suspended evening calm

Best For

When you want to recall the feeling of... Early light along the Grand Rounds. Coffee after a walk between Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet. Cool lake air below the Minneapolis skyline. A quiet bench near Cedar Lake before the city gathers speed. This mug brings that Minneapolis lake pause into an everyday coffee or tea ritual.

The Story Behind the Piece

Golden water opens beneath cobalt and coral clouds, with wooded shores and the Minneapolis skyline low on the horizon. The Chain of Lakes feels bright, spacious, and briefly still.

Each piece begins as original artwork created by artist Nick Scacco, then is adapted into artful everyday goods that carry forward the emotional atmosphere and place-connected spirit of the original.
