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 ☕️

@dirtysexyhistory @histodons I’d love to get a Charles II mug: “We have a pretty, witty king / upon whose word no one relies on / who never said a foolish thing / and never did a wise one”. #history

@doctorcdf my dad's obsessed with the Earl of Rochester (to whom that quote is attributed). Never thought I'd stumble across John Wilmot on here!
