Tyg
English pottery mug
"TYG" redirects here. For a Swiss band also known as TYG, see The Young Gods. For the Megan Thee Stallion song, see Megan: Act II.
A tyg (or tig) is a large English pottery mug with three or more handles dividing the rim into sections for several drinkers. These tall, black-glazed, red-bodied drinking vessels were produced from the 15th century through the first half of the 17th century, peaking in popularity during the 16th and 17th centuries. Some were made with as many as nine handles.[1] The multiple handles also allow hot drinks to be passed around without pain.
Tygs were made in large quantities at Wrotham in Kent and in many Staffordshire factories. Examples have surfaced at 17th-century American colonial sites, as well as in the UK.[2] There are also examples of Japanese and German tygs.
Many of the leading names in Staffordshire and Worcester area have manufactured miniature three handled tygs that stand proud at only 1 to 1 7/10 inches in size. Most were probably used for decoration rather than drinking, as many of them are exquisitely painted. They are widely collected.
