The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Frog mugs, also known as surprise cups, are novelty drinking vessels featuring a three-dimensional ceramic amphibian inside, designed to startle or amuse the drinker as the liquid level recedes. Popular in late 18th and 19th-century Britain, these vessels were frequently produced for tavern settings or presented as commemorative loving cups.

Pearlware is a white-glazed earthenware ceramic developed in the late 18th century, characterised by a cobalt-tinted glaze that pools blueish in crevices. The moulded interior figures were individually cast and attached before underglaze or overglaze hand painting was executed.

Authentic pearlware displays a faint blue hue where glaze gathers around foot rims, handles, and moulded relief details. Authentic examples display evidence of hand-applied brushwork rather than mechanical transfer printing, along with age-appropriate wear on the base.

Display the vessel on a mantelpiece, open kitchen dresser, or bookshelf alongside period glassware to highlight its twin handles and hand-painted motifs. Positioning the object at eye level ensures the interior moulded detail remains visible.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent applied with a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged immersion if the glaze exhibits crazing. Keep the object away from extreme temperature fluctuations and wipe dry immediately after cleaning.
