Found this cool Mushroom Mug from the 70s at the thrift the other day. The mushrooms on the mug are in really high relief so the whole surface bubbles up with their form. Both sides have the mushrooms and stems in various colors of yellow, red-brown and green. The mug itself has an interesting form with vertical grooves on it. The handle is wide and curved and easy to grab.

One of the most interesting things about the mugs (there were 4 but I bought only 1) is that they have an exact date on them - as in the day, month and year. This is quite unusual. In addition, I noticed that all 4 of the mugs had a different exact date, some varying by more than several years. While each mug is marked with Arnel’s, it appears that the company sold ceramic molds through a catalog so that anyone could buy them and make the mugs themselves. I think this is why there is what looks like secondary stamps on the bottom - in this case a “DW” and the date 4-25-73.
