0044_007_MugsOver 25 hours, 30 colors, 1800 degrees, and 2100 miles have gone into bringing this set of two Chrono Trigger mugs to Desert Bus this year. These mugs have been hand painted with glaze paint on earthenware clay making them entirely food, dishwasher, and microwave safe. Last year Ian Horner said Jexebele’s mugs had “a nice weight” and “good mouth feel”; she believes this set holds up to those high standards.

Other endorsements include:

“Wow these are awesome, really triggers my nostalgia” -Best Friend.
“Those look great, glad you actually finished on time” – Coworker.
And “Very cool, the insides are really magical looking” – almost everyone (Seriously, people, that wasn’t the hard part , but I’m glad you like it!)

Jexebele designed the stained glass look referencing the classic characters, but the style is her own and she never repeats the same art piece twice, which makes these mugs 100% unique and an irreplaceable addition to any Chrono Trigger lover’s collection.

Donate $7.13 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize! We’ll run this donation drive until 9:50pm PST.

Desert Bus has officially raised $5,000,000 over our 12 years of fundraising.

There are many things we could say about the incredible generosity of our community. Instead, we have just two words, because we can’t stop the bus and we have more money to raise.

Thank You.
