In lieu of the latest Game of Thrones episode, thousands of fans watched as Ygritte was shot down by an arrow and died in her lover Jon Snow’s arms. To commemorate the pair’s doomed love, Etsy seller ‘Sketch123’ created this stylish ceramic coffee mug that features a beautiful hand-drawn illustration of the star-crossed lovers.
This delicate coffee mug features a lovely pencil drawn illustration of Jon Snow and Ygritte inspired by the illustrations featured in George R.R. Martin’s book. The illustrations are featured on both sides of the white ceramic coffee cup. The couple is intertwined in an elegant embrace and surrounded by Ygritte’s famous line, “You know nothing Jon Snow.” Every time you drink your morning coffee from this cup you’ll be reminded of the pair’s everlasting love affair.
