Vintage "COFFEE BREAK" Mug (Copyright 1953, Parksmith Corp., NY)

A delightful and rare mid-century collectible! This ceramic coffee mug features a busy, brown transferware design with various coffee-related questions and images (e.g., "Sugar?", "Cream?", "Have a Mint?"). It has a chunky brown handle and a brown rim.

Details:

Era: Stamped with a 1953 Copyright by Parksmith Corp., N.Y. on the base.

Design: Features classic brown and white graphics typical of the 1950s.

Crackled Finish: The ceramic body exhibits visible crazing, typical of pieces from this era.

The Fun Surprise: Turn the mug upside down, and at the bottom, the words "BACK TO WORK?" are cleverly written into the crackled glaze (crazing) on the interior base. This is a unique, hilarious feature that makes this mug a great gift or collector's item!

Condition: Great vintage condition with no chips or cracks, only typical crazing from age.

Dimensions (Approximate):

Height: ~4 inches
