Patio and Party Mugs

The patio mugs is one of a small group that are not Anchor Hocking’s standard milk glass formula.  These make decent travel mugs in that they are taller and don’t spill as much as the shorter mugs.  They also came in several different patterns, including one that has the fired-on colors on the inside.  All of these are fairly uncommon, and some are very retro-Americana to be sure.  These are not marked on bottom.

The Tom & Jerry and Egg Nog mugs were a theme used by Hazel Atlas and they look quite similar.  The handles give them away though.  The handles on the Fire-King party mugs look more like a standard D-Handle with the dimple, while the Hazel Atlas handles look more of a circle, an ear for example.  This shape mug can be found unmarked as well.  These are dated to the 1960s and were initially sold with a punch bowl and a set of 8 mugs.  These are easy to find, sometimes in their original box.
 
 
 

Just one example of the crystal patio mugs available

Found in white and peach luster

Also found in white and peach luster

This is the mug from the Kiddie Time play set which included a bowl and plate, all very hard to find items.

Very rare set of patio mugs with fired-on colors both inside and out.  I am told these are the 3 mugs pictured in Gene Florence’s 2nd edition book.  Beautiful mugs.
