It looks pretty good, but I’m not sure how accurate it is.

Nice!!! Any chance you have can share the exact dimensions of the cup? I’d love to try and make a 3d mold and then use that to make it out of ceramics. I was also looking for a free or paid 3d model of this online and I could not find it. So, if you also know od any that’d be great. Thanks!

I have an “Ocean” blue genuine Highwave Hotjo now and it’s pretty nice. Very sturdy and tip/slip-resistant. I handwash mine. Being “The Original Travel Mug” though, they’re a pretty simple design and don’t retain heat or cold all that long. I would at least like a silicone plug to put in the top and hang from the handle with a loop, but sadly they don’t sell any such “aftermarket” parts, let alone replacement sip tops which some customers have sadly said they lost. But they seem to mostly be focused on their modern plastic drinkware now and perhaps only keep the Hotjo (barely) stocked for Trekkies.

I’m watching the first season again now and this greenish teal colour shows up as well. Interesting to know that the ones in the show weren’t genuine Highwave. The props department probably just bought from the lowest bidder when they saw mugs like these and decided they fit the show’s aesthetic. It’s not uncommon. “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul”, for example, feature a number of businesses from Albuquerque that were frankly not very good when I actually patronized them.

Does the older highwave have the index finger notch or is that a ds9 thing they did?

Yes, the Highwave mug is pretty darn close.

The Quark’s mug isn’t a Highwave–I spoke with the owner of Highwave about the DS9 mugs and he informed me that the screen used purple Quark’s mugs are knockoffs of his Highwave mugs! At one point Sisko uses a real Highwave mug in his office, but all the Quark’s mugs are the knockoff Highwaves. I have two of them at home–they’re super thin slip cast porcelain, and none of them are purple–it’s speculated that the show commissioned a run of them in the custom purple color. Mine are the green and black colors.

Wow. I remember 10+ years ago going to a Comicon with my brother and buying one of the purple mugs for my dad (he collects mugs). He didn’t like it though so my brother used it. Unfortunately he dropped it one day and broke it. If I had any idea it was custom made for the show I probably would have bought an extra and just stored it away.
