Aug 10 at 18:08 comment added the-baby-is-you @Carmeister The Santa Claus mug would be a prototypical example, yeah, and an artisan mug with gold edging would be something else. But a cheap print of Monet's lilies that comes off under your fingernail, bought at an art museum to show you were there? I'd call that a novelty.
Aug 10 at 17:25 comment added Carmeister Maybe it's too obvious to be worth mentioning, but this only describes a subset of what the question asks about. A Christmas mug shaped like Santa Claus's head, say, would be a novelty mug, but not a normal mug with a pretty decoration that happens to be too delicate to see regular use.
Aug 9 at 11:34 comment added HippoSawrUs Yes, I think so, even though I asked a question before which indicates I use novelty incorrectly sometimes.
