Fitz & Floyd ‘Bad Guy’ mug
made in USA 1980
OK folks, we’re in the Eighties now. I know that’s an unusual period for this blog- but bear with me.
This is a ‘Bad Guy’ mug [the best kind, let’s be honest] – he’s a bad cowboy breaking into a safe – his hand is on the dial- : and in the middle of the mug there’s a bag of loot, which you discover once you’ve drunk the poison/liquor/substance held within.
Presumably there’s a Good Guy out there- but I haven’t come across one just yet. Fitz & Floyd are becoming very collectible, so if you have any interest in collecting, maybe now’s the time to start. I have featured Fitz & Floyd salt and pepper shakers before- and both sets were snapped up by collectors.
This Fitz and Floyd mug is for sale: $25
LOL. Did’nt the expression “Uh Oh” originate in the 80s? I don’t know, but it would fit.
not sure, nannus: but it certainly is a suitable expression. i must say the bad guy appeals much more than the idea of a ‘good’ guy- blahh!
Cute!
thanks hannah- badness as depicted in ceramics is bound to be cute!
