Unfortunately, at the moment, we have no puzzle mugs available. These photos are here to show the style of puzzle mugs we normally have on hand. Once we have a handle on some other projects that are demanding our time, we'll get some more mugs made - please check back in April. Thanks for visiting!

Puzzle mugs have appeared in many forms, in many countries over the centuries. They were popular with English potters and were made in the 1800's as a joke or trick mug; an appreciated novelty in pubs. Despite the holes in the body of the mug, there is a way to drink from the mug if the secret can be discovered! Each mug is slightly different, using one of several different hole patterns. Each mug comes with a poem card, as pictured in the photo and detailed instructions on how to drink from the puzzle mug, in a sealed envelope. Very entertaining when sprung on the unwary!
