It does seem to be a pretty close match to the TV grog mug and it's reddish color actually resembles this early version of the TV grog mug. Almost an identical match indeed!I think it's a pretty good guess that this Penn Museum Kuba Cup is the inspiration for the TV grog mug. And it would explain for the initial red color of the TV grog mug. Thanks for sharing Fugu. [ Edited by: tattoo 2014-09-25 23:05 ]
