This ceramic art mug brings Joanne Short's vivid 2026 Fowey Classic Car Parade painting to life in the round. The painting captures the iconic Pinnock Tunnel in Fowey, its great curved stone arch sweeping across the composition as two classic cars emerge into the Cornish light. A deep burgundy open-top vintage tourer leads the way, its driver visible at the wheel, while a sleek white sports car follows close behind. The Fowey estuary and its wooded headlands shimmer in the distance beyond the tunnel entrance, with sailing boats catching the breeze on the Cornish blue sea. In the foreground, agapanthus and wild coastal flowers spill across the scene in Joanne Short's characteristically bold and joyful palette, grounding the composition in the lush sub-tropical planting that makes Cornwall's south coast so distinctive.

The painting wraps the full circumference of the mug, allowing the composition to be read from every angle. It is a piece that captures both the spirit of a much-loved Cornish event and the particular pleasure of a summer's day in one of Cornwall's most beautiful corners. A wonderful gift for anyone who loves Fowey, classic cars, or the work of one of Cornwall's most celebrated colourist artists.
