Award Gold Handle Mug
ORDERS BEGIN SHIPPING THE FIRST WEEK IN FEBRUARY.
Carry on John Wayne’s timeless tradition with the John Wayne Limited Edition Mug, the fourth design in our exclusive Gold Handle Mug series. Inspired by the gold handle mugs Wayne gifted to his cast and crew as a heartfelt “thank you” after each film, this special edition celebrates his iconic role in True Grit (1969). With a strict production cap of up to 400 pieces, this collector’s item is a must-have for fans of the Duke and classic cinema.
This 10 oz. ceramic mug features striking artwork of John Wayne commemorating the Oscar® he won in 1976, honoring his unforgettable performance in True Grit. The design includes the bold word “Grit” over a statue of Wayne, capturing the essence of his legendary career. The hand-painted 12-karat gold handle adds a touch of elegance, while Wayne’s signature and a special note on the bottom make each piece truly unique.
Adding a playful nod to the moment, the mug also includes the phrase “Beginner’s Luck”—a reference to what John Wayne reportedly whispered to Barbra Streisand after his win. Of course, there was nothing “beginner” about it—True Grit was his 170th film, cementing his legacy as one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons.
This mug is the second in a three-mug sub-series commemorating the 55th anniversary of True Grit, and begins shipping the week of February 3, 2025—just in time for Valentine’s Day and the Oscars®.
