I’ve always wanted to try and get some photos of my vintage mug collection. Recently, when we “swapped out” a bunch of different Pyrex items in the house for the Fall season, I had a significant amount of the mugs out on the table - so I just decided to take them ALL out and try and see how they would photograph.

It was harder than I thought, and I’m glad I tested it out once. I had many more mugs than I’d originally thought. I’m going to try do something similar once a year - maybe even start up a separate blog for vintage mugs only. The majority of all the mugs here were found for 25 cents to $2. A few were much higher, though.

Below is a shot of only the Pyrex mugs. It is difficult to figure out how to line them all up so that a group photo will show everything.

Here is a closeup photo of just the solid color mugs only - note, this includes many non-Pyrex mugs as well:

Finally, below is a photo of most of the mugs before I actually tried to organize them. I don’t have them in any order in the boxes so it was quite a chore to separate which ones I wanted to photograph. This shot is actually missing about 20-30 mugs - I had thought the table would easily hold the entire collection and it was about the time I took this photo that I realized that was not going to be possible!

I also separated the mugs by maker and color vs. white mugs - you can see more of the mug collection photos on Flickr.
