He returned repeatedly over the following two decades, working as a painter, illustrator, and — in the final years of his career — sculptor, to record a way of life he sensed was disappearing. \u003cem\u003eThe Broncho Buster\u003c\/em\u003e, cast in 1895, was his first bronze and remains his most celebrated work: a cowboy on a rearing horse, the rider leaning back against the animal's momentum, hat raised, the composition spiralling upward in a controlled explosion of energy. Remington solved the considerable technical challenge of balancing the bronze on two rear hooves by concentrating weight at the base and using the horse's tail as a third point of support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture entered the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has since been cast in numerous editions; copies have occupied the Oval Office of the White House under several administrations, lending it a peculiar double life as both fine art and political symbol. For Remington, the work was personal — an act of preservation as much as invention, made at the moment when the frontier he had documented was being absorbed into national mythology. The image reproduced here — bold, kinetic, resolved in silhouette — captures the bronze as it was meant to be seen: from below, against the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is released to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. The Broncho Buster is one of the defining images of American identity — a nation that mythologised its own frontier almost as it lived it. At 250, that myth is still very much alive. The America 250 ribbon on this mug is a small acknowledgment of that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine Porcelain — 10 oz.

And in the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a small porcelain coffee cup sits quietly — one of 302 pieces that George Washington ordered from China in 1786, used throughout his presidency, and kept at Mount Vernon until his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashington drank coffee. His household accounts document it. He served guests — diplomats, officers, members of the new government — using this service, in New York, in Philadelphia, at Mount Vernon. The service included several coffee cups. He used them. Which one he held on any given morning, history does not record. But the cup now in the Met is one of those cups. The same service. The same glaze. The same painted figure of Fame with her trumpet, the same Cincinnati eagle beneath her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of them touched his lips. This may well have been the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe TazzArte re-edition reproduces this cup faithfully — same form, same decoration, same weight in the hand. Fine porcelain, ten ounces. Made to be used, not displayed. Pick it up. Feel it. This is what Washington held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur gift to America at 250.
