This is a mug from 1674. Doesn’t it look like something you could buy at Starbucks?

Coffee shops were common in bigger British cities in the 1670s, and according to Pepys, they shouted out your name when your drink was ready. People sometimes gave hilarious fake names for a laugh. Very little truly changes ☕️

@doctorcdf @dirtysexyhistory @histodons A limited edition "retro styled" set of Rulers of Yore mugs with pithy quotes would go gangbusters.Plus, for the ones that were executed, you could do cool, bloody things with those mugs that change colour when hot liquid is poured in. 🙂

@dirtysexyhistory @histodons @melle I’d like a William III mug that without hot liquid within shows his title as Stadtholder of the Netherlands, and then shows him as King of England when filled with hot coffee.

@melle @doctorcdf @dirtysexyhistory @histodons I'm also thinking of those ones with the 'hidden' ceramic figures stuck to the inside or things painted inside that are revealed as you drink, so like a Henry VII could have a Tudor rose sculpted in the bottom?

@melle @doctorcdf @dirtysexyhistory @histodons I like the cut of your jib! I feel like Victoria could either be her standing on a map that shows off all the countries England took over/colonized in her reign (which then disappear when it cools down 🤣 ). And now I can't get Hamilton songs out of my head thinking of anything with George III. "You'll be back..."

@dirtysexyhistory @histodons This is a great new thing to learn. I can’t help but wonder if there was lead in that mug or the glaze on it (not that stupid me wouldn’t still want to drink out of it).

@BluesFish @histodons very good question! It might well be lead in the white. White lead was used in makeup too

Thought as much. One has to be careful with such ceramics though. Early English Delftware, because of its inherent value, is often forged I believe. Lovely to see a genuine piece.
