Hermès Hermes Using authentic lacquer, the repairs are done with tin instead of gold, matching the pattern. Thank you for viewing. This is an H DECO mug from Hermès. Inspired by the Art Deco architectural decorations that adorn the Hermès flagship store in Paris, it features a beautiful black and white contrast design. The "H" motif in the center subtly asserts the brand. As it has been repaired with gold joinery, it's best to avoid using a dishwasher. Thank you.
