Karlovy Vary Spa Mug — a regional collectible with historic and therapeutic roots in one of Europe’s most famed spa towns. These mugs, also known as “cure mugs,” were designed for sipping mineral-rich thermal spring water, believed to aid digestion and promote wellness.
Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) has been renowned since the 14th century for its springs and refined porcelain industry. This mug features a traditional handle shape and blue-on-white floral decoration — a visual echo of Eastern European folk art. Sold as souvenirs to spa-goers throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, these mugs now serve as collectible mementos of cultural and medicinal heritage
