This mug is a basic model that was produced from the 1960s or 1970s to the mid-1980s. The color is a slightly off-white, a slightly more tinted color than the earlier white mug, giving it the warmth that is unique to Victor.

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.

We carefully select pots in the best possible condition, excluding those with noticeable cracks or stains, but some small scratches and light dirt on the bottom may be present. Victor pots may also show kiln marks from the manufacturing process, such as small grains or dots, dents, uneven glaze, and cracks under the glaze, but we hope you will enjoy these as part of their character.

Regarding sizes: <br>It has been confirmed that this series comes in three sizes, and although the difference in height is small, the diameter and capacity differ.

Capacity is
S size is approximately 150ml, M size is approximately 170ml, L size is approximately 215ml

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.

As handle size varies from individual to individual, for convenience we sell them in "small (about 1-2 fingers)" and "large (about 2 fingers)" sizes (the size may differ 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.
