A large ceramic beer tankard hand-painted by McKenzie Originals. The background of the tankard is glazed with a dark blue colour and white, giving it a textured look. On one side of the tankard is a painted image of blue water with an offshore drilling rig ship. The other side of the tankard features a painted image of blue water with ripples and patches of ice. One big patch of ice floats in the water in the middle with black text reading, "The Caisson in our Northern Sea Stands Bold & Strong & True It searches for the Arctic Oil In Beaufort depths ..... So Blue!"
The bottom of the tankard is white with a large black ring close to the border of the base. Inside the ring is black, handwritten, painted text reading from top to bottom, ".McKenzie Originals. / "The Steel Giant" / Limited Edition / 500 / 84 No. 78/500 / ~Hand Painted~". The inside of the tankard starts with the same blue colour as the outside and gradients into white.
A square, beige cardstock piece of paper rests inside the tankard. The top left of the paper features a greyscale image of a woman with short hair, wearing a dark coloured mockneck shirt. The top left of the paper displays black text reading, "MCKENZIE ORIGINALS "THE STEEL GIANT". The middle of the paper consists of two paragraphs of black text. The bottom has two signatures.Collection
