The History
One of the first instances of a mug existing was thousands of years ago in China. China is one of the first recorded countries that used mugs as drinking vessels. The tradition of drinking tea has existed in China for a long time, and when tea was introduced, technology picked up and mugs were developed to hold tea in. This started the popularity of mugs around the world. As more cultures adopted the tradition of drinking tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, mugs were developed for each culture to make those drinks with.
As tea became Europe's beverage of choice, the first known mug that was used in Europe was the slipware mug. This sort of mug is still popular today. Slipware mugs are made by a process called slip-casting. Slip-casting is when clay is poured into a mold and then removed after it has been left to dry inside of a kiln. After removed from the mold, it can be decorated with different tools such as engraving or carving the clay. These mugs have both decorative aspects and practical aspects to them. The decorative elements are used for decoration and the practical aspects are used for holding liquid, such as hot tea.
As time went on and people spread out, the use of mugs spread worldwide. Each person or culture that picked up the culture of drinking from mugs added their own flavor. As the Chinese were drinking hot tea, the Japanese added rice to their hot beverages and created a unique way to drink their hot beverage of choice. This process has been practiced for many years and can still be seen in Japan today.
Many scholars believe that mugs are a true symbol for the people who drink out of them. The old adage, "A man's best friend is his dog." is a metaphor for what mugs mean to their owners. In the same way that humans have adopted animals as pets, people have adopted mugs as personal items. Mugs make amazing gifts any time of the year. Their versatility in being used for drinks or fashion accessories makes them useful and useful-giving items to many different cultures, and even to many different religions.
