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 a slightly off-white that is slightly darker than the previous model. Because the size of the handle varies from one to another, we sell them in two sizes: small (about 1-2 fingers) and large (about 2 fingers) for your convenience (the size may differ for those with small or large hands).

Because it is made of thick material, you may be surprised at how heavy it is when you pick it up. Its thickness may also make it difficult to drink from, but many customers find that its thickness and the weight it places on their fingers are surprisingly addictive. We recommend this product to anyone who likes dinerware, as well as those who want to continue using something durable and simple.

The condition is very good, with no noticeable damage except for a few small scratches. However, please note that there may be dents, scratches, small grains, spots, and uneven glaze caused during manufacturing.

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.
