CrazyCholeBlack Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Woohooo! I LOVE my tyg so much its become part of the daily dish ware. Which reminds me, Kass, how do we go about using that "rating" thing on your site? If I'm going to boast about your stuff it should at least be available for others to see!

CrazyCholeBlack Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Okay. Tempt me. Tempt me more. Happy too Mr. Red Wake The previously mentioned fabulous tyg holds 12 oz. Microwave & dishwasher safe. And the double handle makes it really easy to avoid spilling your drink (yes I know it's really meant for sharing but I've never been good at that!)

William Brand Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Truth be told, I have been wondering about the two handles for quite some time now, but never enough to ask or research the question. It simply never occured to me that the cup was meant for "sharing". I imagined all sorts of reasons, mostly centered around holding it, but sharing never entered into my mind. What does that say about me? 'Pirate' I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Great stuff as always Kass. I see a few things my crewe will be wanting for its 1680 Port Royal impression... nice Delftware. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

kass Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks, Hurricane, William. We live but to serve. As Chole said, the two handles are for passing the drink to your comrades. You can hold one and the person to whom you're passing it holds the other. Or you can have a tug of war with it. Or would that be a "tyg of war"... Apparently passing a drinking vessel around was very common. This is also where "take 'im down a peg" comes from -- it meant to drink the next bloke's portion (to the next peg) to punish him. Two handles also gives the mug a longer life. Many a mug I've stopped using because I broke the handle. On this one, you can just keep using it. And as Chole mentioned, all our pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe. It's also made using food-safe, non-lead glaze so there are no worries there.
