This antique 19th century Sunderland Lustre Frog Mug with the design of "The Sailors Farewell" is a unique addition to your collection. The mug features vibrant shades of orange and intricate details that depict a sailor bidding goodbye to his loved ones.

Frog mugs were particularly popular during the early 1800s and reflected the bawdy humour of the time when an unsuspecting user would be confronted with a frog emerging out of his cloudy ale. Many of the frogs have holes in the middle which would have spat the ale back out of the mug into the drinkers face!

Crafted during the 1800-1849 period, this mug is a beautiful representation of the artistry of that era. The mug is perfect for collectors who appreciate history and art. Add this rare piece to your pottery, ceramics & glass or decorative cookware & tableware collection today.
