    Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these mugs.
    Do you think they are old and maybe someone knows who made them?
    They are 4 3/4" tall x 3" wide at the mouth.
    There is a black 10 on the bottom of each mug which is glazed over.
    They are a very light pink on the inside with crazing.
    Any help would be appreciated. 2011-04-08 23.11.24.jpg 2011-04-08 23.12.01.jpg

    I don't know the specific maker, but if you image search yellow ware mugs, you might be able to figure out where they came from. That's all the help I can offer at the moment.

    Hey @tiquergirl06 - have you had any luck yet? I did some searches on and off today and think your mugs were made by the same pottery company that made all the advertising root beer mug/steins. (Links below) Only a few people were attributing the maker as Morton Pottery, so that needs further investigation. Descriptions are saying made between 1900 and 1930's.

    It looks like the mugs were made in a variety of sizes and glaze colors varied somewhat, but still the same general color scheme with the three stripes, two blue with one white stripe in between them. I was specifically looking for the flared, footed mugs, with handle shaped like yours, but there are straight sided, cylinder mugs, too.

    Morton Pottery Company....?

    Wow! Thank you so much laurgarnet!
    They really do like Buckeye Root Beer mugs a lot.
    I think I will hang onto them for awhile.
    They kind of grew on me.
    Thank you again for all of the wonderful information!
