Mlp Ceramic Mugs
« on: June 03, 2012, 05:08:45 AM »



What can you experts tell me about these mugs? They appear often enough on my local auction site, but don't think I've ever seen them on actual eBay.


Does anypony know where they were released, what caracters have been made, and so on?


The wiki doesn't seem to have anything on these?

If I remember correctly they have the same markings as the European porcelain figures, which someone once said were Swedish. So maybe that it is something local. Not sure.

Thats super cute!

I have seen another couple in the past a Galaxy and a Fizzy - both in Finland so I would guess if you are finding them locally they were perhaps Scandinavian merch.

This one does have swedish markings underneath, but I thought the same designs might have been used elsewhere, or do you think they could have been made solely for the Swedish market? Doesn't seem like good business sense!?

I does seem that way then! Maybe it was more common in those days to produce merch locally for the local market? Yes, aren't they just adorable? I must get my hands on the TE ones!

I really want these, but they are so hard to find.  You should buy up all you can get your hands on :)

Sorry, can't find the memory card for my camera so I had to take a photo with my phone. The stamps look similar and it's written in Swedish on the mug (the faded text). My mug is veeery worn - because my dad has used for coffee throughout the years and it's been washed in the dishwasher, I just recently put it away. I've seen mugs in the same style with: Whizzer, Fizzy, Cupcake, Moondancer, Cherries Jubillee and Buttons.

Yup, they're swedish/Scandinavian, which breaks my heart. I am always hoping to find them, but whenever one does show up on ebay they are usually reaaalllyyy expensive.

Just saw a photo of one of the mugs in the different style, it has the exact same stamp underneath.

That's right, now that you mention it I have seen the same design on plates. And oh, I've seen those eggcups on ebay a couple of times. Didn't know they only were released in the UK.

I love these! Shipping to the US is a killer though.

I have only seen Cherries and Cupcake. It's so good to see the others!

The two mugs with the baby ponies look very similar to one of the mugs that I have.  It has the same baby pony pattern, but has more decorations around the top and the bottom.  I think I got mine from  US seller, but it could have been from someone in the UK. (it was a looong time ago!)

I totally want that Moondancer mug!!

There's 6 of them: Buttons, Fizzy, Moondancer, Cupcake, Whizzer and Cherries Jubilee. They come also with 2 handles and plates exist also. I have 4 Buttons mugs, 3 Fizzy mugs and 2 Moondancers (unicorns are my favorite ;) ). They are quite common over here. The bottom text is Swedish (but it's our 2nd language here) and they are made in 'the Republic of Korea'.
