This is a very interesting little tall mug or cup with an elongated handle. It’s marked simply as “Japan” on the bottom and measures 4 inches tall and only 2 inches in diameter. There’s a nice pattern of flowers in white, red and yellow with an orange background printed all around the mug. We were trying to figure out what this style of mug might be used for - it could be an espresso mug but it’s so tall.

This is our first piece of Pyrex Flamingo tableware from Corning - it’s not really a mug, but more of a tea cup. Thank you to Merebearlandon for sending it to us! Ours is not marked with a stamp, but these usually did have a gold stamp on the bottom that often wore off (we have a number of other pieces where the stamp did wear off as well). These sometimes also came with gold trim around the edges, though ours does not appear to have it.

These wonderful depictions of game birds on Anchor Hocking Fire King D-Handle style mugs date from approximately 1959-1962. While they’re fairly common they enjoy some popularity with Fire King mug collectors because there are 4 different birds to collect in the set: Canada Goose, Ring Necked Pheasnt, Mallard Duck and Ruffled Grouse. Shown here is an example of the Canada Goose Mug.

These great little egg nog cups or mugs were made by Hazel Atlas and are very similar to the popular Tom and Jerry mugs. They originally came in sets of either 6, 10 or 12 (difficult to tell unless someone has an original box with the number of cups) and a large serving bowl for the egg nog.

These little 3 inch cups are footed, though I’ve seen others that are not footed. Those also seem to have the red and green reverse. The ones I have have the words “Egg Nog” in green, but the others have the same writing in red? The rest of the scene features an old victorian town with a horse and carriage in red.

Picked up some of these great Christmas scene mugs the other day - I believe they came in sets of four but they only had these two. Both feature red, green and black holiday pictures around the sides of the mug. Mug 1 has a tree, town with a boy ringing a bell, a red friendship type dove, a white bird and red bells and holly. Mug 2 has poinsettias, an xmas tree, candles, a cherub with wings and more pointsettias.

We don’t know the maker of these mugs, but it is a stacking shape that is commonly seen. We believe it’s not extremely old, but definitely not a newer style of mug. Maybe 70s-80s? The “stacking” part of the mug on the bottom has ridges and the handle is an interesting two finger grip that fits my fingers perfectly. It is rather thin, and I’ve seen quite a few that have cracked or broken handles.

The mug has “Japan” stamped very faintly into the porcelain on the bottom. There’s a noticeable amount of imperfections (not wear) both in the paint and in the composition of the china itself.
