In My day(1960) it was a white porcelaine mug..........thought it was a pint.........but may be wrong.......often got asked to fetch a pot of tea back, and a couple of slices of toast....think we needed a big pot to get the bromide in.........LOL |

It was a pint one - my husband used to have a white porceline one when we were in quarters and I used to go mad as I would have one cup and then the teapot was emptied into his mug - no second cuppa for me unless I made one! |
