This mug is one of the last Victor mugs to feature the "MADE IN USA" backstamp, a move to combat Chinese counterfeits. It was produced for only a few years, from the mid-1980s to around 1990.

The color is dark brown, but it is even darker than the dark brown of the 1970s and 1980s.

In terms of condition, there are some small particles that were attached during manufacturing, as well as small scratches and some glare on the bottom, but there is no sign of heavy use and it can be said to be in good condition.

All bottles are large, with a capacity of approximately 220ml when filled to the brim. Because handle sizes vary, we will sell them as "small (about 1-2 fingers)" and "large (about 2 fingers)" for your convenience (the size may vary for those 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.
