This mug is the most basic model, which was produced until Victor closed down, but it is a rare beige color and the stamp on the bottom indicates that it is from the early period of the series. It is estimated to have been produced between the 1950s and 1970s, but early beige models are hard to find, even though they seem to be readily available. It took several years to finally collect these three mugs, and we are now offering them for sale.
Due to their age, earlier models often have many scratches and the surface has become dry and flaky, but the mug we are selling this time has not shown any signs of heavy use and is in fairly good condition, with only a few small scratches and stains. However, please note that there may be small pieces stuck together, small black spots, and a small chip on the bottom.
Because it is made thick, many customers are surprised at how much heavier it is than it looks. You may also find it difficult to drink from due to its thickness, but it is also true that some people become addicted 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 170ml and the large size is approximately 220ml.
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 vary 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.
