31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS (2020): Vintage McCoy Smiley Face Mug

Here is the mug that everyone needs this year, the year that challenged all of us to stay safe and be happy. It is a vintage 1971 McCoy coffee mug and unlike some vintage mugs, it is readily and affordably available from many resellers on eBay.

McCoy's line of pieces included mugs, planters, banks and cookie jars. It is sometimes referred to with the word ‘Smiley’ and other times with the word ‘Happy.’ Whichever way you care to call it, it was very popular in the 1970s, which may account for why it so easily found today.

These mugs measure approximately 4 inches tall and will hold 12 ounces of your favorite hot and steamy beverage. I think that they also make wonderful display pieces whether you want to put a plant in yours or use it as a flower vase or even as a pencil holder.

I think that these mugs are guaranteed to make you smile and who doesn’t need every excuse they can find to smile these days!?! Discover all of the Smiley mugs that are available on eBay right now by clicking right here.
