Popular artist Ron English has released the Series Two of limited edition tea/coffee cups and saucers with the Abraham Obama Tea Set.
This time, English has combined two very iconic leaders as one supreme being with the Abraham Obama Tea Set. That’s right, Abe Lincoln and President Obama have been merged into one ultimate politician—kind of like how the Power Rangers band together as one giant robot to kick ass. The bone china cup and saucer is visually and psychedelically stunning as English adds a pop art aesthetic by featuring bright vibrant colors.
The Ron English Abraham Obama Tea Set is extremely limited in numbers with only 250 to be produced. Each purchase will come with an art print that’s signed and sequentially numbered as well as a certificate of authenticity with the artist's biography.
