I can't find where this coffee mug originally came from at all. My grandmother (who's dead now) had it for as long as I can remember, and I asked my mom about it, and she said she got it at a yard sale about 40 years ago, but hard telling how long those people had it. This seems to be a common phrase on coffee mugs but I can't find one that looks even remotely like this, they're all very modern, even when I specify old or vintage.

Scrolling down and clicking on eBays ads that look similar makes more ads pop up

>The reverse search image tool
Didn't use that. I popped open eBay and searched some generic terms looking for non-slip cups and skimmed the results till I spotted something. The rest of the finds are because eBay runs their own image recognition to try and sell you similar things. If I clicked on a brown mug instead of white ones maybe yours would pop up...

My advice if you want the same mug would be to save a search on eBay. Look for "brown non-spill mug" and set eBay to email you new results. They'll send you useless results every couple days, but with luck in a couple years it'll pop up

It's hard to tell but it's actually a reddish maroon, but I see your point.
