This mug is Victor's most basic model, but it comes in a very rare beige color. The stamp on the bottom indicates a later model, so it was probably produced in the 1970s or 1980s.

The condition is good, with some minor scratches, stains, and unevenness on the bottom, but these are not noticeable. However, please note that there may be small dents, lines, or particles that occurred during manufacturing.

Because it is made thick, it feels heavier than it looks. You may also find it difficult to drink from due to its thickness, but it is also true that some people get used to this "habit" as they use it. This is a product that we would highly recommend not only to customers who love dinerware, but also to customers who want to continue using something durable and simple.

Regarding sizes : There are two sizes, M and L, and the difference in height is small, but the diameter and capacity are different.

Capacity is
The medium size is approximately 175 ml and the large size is approximately 220 ml.

Even though the sizes are different, there is not much difference in thickness, and you won't feel much difference in the mouthfeel. However, because they are made thick, the capacity may seem quite small from the outside.

Please note that handle size varies from individual to individual, so for convenience we will sell them in "small (about 1-2 fingers)" and "large (about 2 fingers)" sizes (the size will be different for people with small or large hands).

About Victor mugs
Founded in 1893, Victor originally grew as a manufacturer of insulators, insulating devices used in electrical wires. However, during World War II, the insulator business stagnated, and the company began exploring the possibility of manufacturing ceramics using the same raw materials as insulators.

In the early 1940s, the US Navy requested a coffee mug that could withstand the rocking and rolling of a ship, and Victor was ultimately awarded the contract.

Navy's request was for a mug that was thick and durable, without handles that could break if hit, and in response, Victor created the Watchman's Mug, a mug shaped like a Japanese teacup.

During World War II, they also began producing thicker, more durable bowls for military use, which continued to be produced for some time after the war. As for mugs, they also made improvements to the Watchman's Mug, retaining the thick construction but adding handles.

Even after the war, Victor continued to make simple, durable mugs with little change in design. This simplicity and durability gained them great popularity among restaurants and diners, and they became a widely loved standard for coffee mugs.
