19th Century Frog Mug

A charming 'hidden frog' Mug from the Mid-19th Century. A piece that encapsulates the eccentric English humour. As one drained their small ale or cider the hidden frog would be revealed to the shock/astonishment of the drinker. Almost certainly made in Staffordshire. This example has the lines 'Long May You Live' on the outside, quite an unusual feature and maybe made for a special occasion, in the same way might toast to 'your good health'.
