Beautiful Vintage 1997 Leanin' Tree "The Whisper's Horse" Coffee Mug

Absolutely beautiful Vintage 1987 Leanin' Tree "The Whisper's Horse" Coffee Mug In great vintage condition with some stir marks on the bottom of the cup. On the front of the mug in the writing arexsime whute marks which I believe are from the manufacturing process. They do not take away from the presentation or use of the mug (see last picture). There are no stains that I see inside the cup. The picture is beautiful and done by Robert Vavra and is signed in the corner. The colors are beautiful and are not faded. It measures about 4 inches tall and 3.25 Inches wide at the top. The text on the mug reads: "The Whisperer's House. There is nothing so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength."  It suggests that true strength lies in gentleness, and gentleness is a powerful force. The saying is Beautiful. The bottom reads: MGR 277 Original art by Robert Vavra ©️ 1997 Leanin' Tree Inc. Boulder, Colorado Made in China Decorated and assembled in the USA Reference: BR Drawer 4
