The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A frog mug, also known as a surprise mug, is a novelty drinking vessel originally created in the 18th century featuring a sculpted ceramic frog attached to the internal base, designed to appear as the liquid was consumed.

These vessels were formed from earthenware and decorated using a copperplate engraving printed onto thin tissue paper, which transferred pigment onto the unglazed ceramic body prior to glazing and firing.

Authentic 1840s transferware generally exhibits fine glaze crazing, distinct seam joins in the transferred pattern, and a smooth pedestal or unglazed foot rim consistent with period production techniques.

An antique loving cup can be placed on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece as a standalone decorative accent, or utilized to hold small floral displays.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive materials, prolonged immersion, or dishwashers to protect the glazed surface and printed pattern.
