Celebrate the simple yet enduring act of a tea break with the Drink Tea For Victory Mug, a bold and nostalgic creation from Harvey Makin’s Civil Defence collection available via Widdop & Co. This generously sized 15-ounce (426 ml) stoneware mug blends vintage propaganda styling, tongue-in-cheek humour and everyday drinkware to create a striking gift for the man who appreciates humour, heritage and a good cuppa.

With its glazed stoneware build, the mug delivers both quality and practicality. Its design draws from authentic 1940s civil defence advertisements—but with a playful twist. The central slogan, “DRINK TEA FOR VICTORY! Today, more than ever!”, evokes rally cry energy while honouring the British tea-time tradition. The mug’s dimensions (H 120 mm × W 130 mm × D 90 mm) make for a large capacity, perfect for substantial morning teas, classic coffees, or relaxed afternoon drinks.

Suitable for everyday use or as a special gift, this mug is ideal for Father’s Day, birthdays, retirements or just because you want to show appreciation with character. It’s part of a wider Civil Defence range of gifts that celebrate nostalgia, heritage and British humour. Styled to stand out on kitchen shelves or in man-caves, it brings a vintage aesthetic to modern life and offers more than just a drink vessel — it’s a statement piece.

To maintain its printed finish and glazed surface, gentle care is recommended: hand-wash when possible, and avoid exposure to harsh detergents or microwaves if the design suggests. With regular use, the mug becomes a conversation starter and a daily nod to the wartime era’s charm—mixed with modern wit.

Gift the Drink Tea For Victory Mug and give someone more than a mug; give them a blend of tribute, tea-time tradition, quality craftsmanship and playful humour. It’s not just about the drink—it’s about the moment, the memory and the message.
