Item Description
Treacle Glazed Rockingham Tyg, two handled tankard, with a secret pair of frogs in sand coloured and treacle glazed stoneware
On one side, image 2, a lone drinker with a tankard at a tripod table, on the other, image 3, a pair of Hop Pickers
Frog mugs, often found in 17th/18th century taverns, were used for drinking typically cloudy beer. These mugs were part of the tradition of drinking games such as fuddling cups and puzzle jugs.
Inside the vessel, lifelike three dimensional frogs or toads are positioned at the bottom, seemingly attempting to escape! They slowly emerge at the bottom of the vessel as it is drained and cause great surprise for the unsuspecting drinker and hilarity for the audience!
This example made by Rockingham pottery, famous for porcelain, also produced substantial brown-glazed earthenware, as seen here
In excellent, useable condition
Dimensions: Height 12cm, Diameter at handles 27cm, Diameter at base 13.5cm
