The R.C. Gorman Chinle Ruby Throated Hummingbird tumbler wraps a moment of quiet connection around sleek drinkware. In the printed design, a woman in profile tilts her head upward and raises an open palm toward a hummingbird hovering mid-air, her turquoise jewelry accenting a red top and cream skirt. A silver-tone rim finishes the form.
The wraparound artwork gives the piece its gallery character, with the design’s warm background tones following the curve of the vessel. As merchandise, the tumbler reproduces Gorman’s imagery on drinkware rather than serving as an original artwork.
It slots easily into a collection of R.C. Gorman drinkware and makes a welcome gift for fans of Southwestern art who like their collectibles practical.
