This mug is from Victor's most basic line, which continued to be produced until the company closed down in the late 1980s, but the stamp on the bottom indicates that it is a later model. It is available in black, which is extremely rare, and is estimated to have been produced in the 1970s or 1980s.

When you actually pick it up, you'll be surprised at how heavy it is. The handle is small, making it hard to hold, and the thickness may make it difficult to drink from. However, it's true that some people get used to this "habit" as they use it. We recommend this cup to anyone who likes dinerware, as well as those who want to continue using something durable and simple.

The size is large even among Victor bottles, with a capacity of approximately 225ml. The handle is about the width of two fingers, which is larger than other Victor bottles.

The condition of this item is excellent, with no cracks, chips, or significant stains, but there are noticeable scratches on the sides and some discoloration on the bottom. While scratches are more visible on this colorway than on white, even ignoring this, there are very few Victor black items left, making this an irreplaceable piece. A must-have for any Victor fan.

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.
