Item Description
Very large C19th Staffordshire dark green transfer printed quart mug with a secret pair of frogs in black and yellow glazed pottery
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, life like two 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!
In excellent, useable condition
Dimensions: Height 13cm, Diameter at handle 17.5cm, Diameter at base 13.5cm
