It's National Hot Cocoa Day, grab your mug and pass the marshmallows. In honor of this cozy holiday, here are a few of our favorite mugs from the collection. ☕️? The first and second mugs shown here are from our Ellouise Baker Larsen Collection of American Historical Staffordshire China. One features an image of President John Adams, our second president, and James Monroe (with his name spelled wrong), our fifth president. ?? The third mug has a gorgeous, almost magical, green color. It has a stippled exterior with a pulled acanthus leaf handle. Produced in England during the middle of the 18th century, it was donated to the museum by Helen Augusta Mosher in 1961 as one of the 839 ceramic objects she left us upon her death. Perhaps this one was particular appropriate for green tea? ?

The last mug was also produced in England, around the 1800s. It's a piece of "mocha ware." Mocha ware featured distinctive tree-like patterns made by a chemical reaction caused by dripping an acidic solution on the alkaline slip-glaze. This mug was also donated by Mosher. ?

The final cocoa-ready mug features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin wearing a beaver hat appropriate for today's chilly weather. The portrait of Franklin on this bowl is based on the 1777 drawing by French artist Charles Nicolas Cochin. There is no mark to tell us who made it, but it is characteristic of wares made in large volume for the American market in both Staffordshire and Liverpool between 1790 and 1820. ❄️☃️? #FoodHistory #FoodStudies #SmithsonianFood #NationalHotCocoaDay #NationalCocoaDay #CocoaDay #HotCocoa #Ceramics #DCweather
