Frankoma Republican Elephant Mugs (1992-1995)
This set of four Frankoma Republican Elephant Mugs, representing the years 1992 through 1995, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal period in GOP history. Each mug is marked "GOP" and carries the Frankoma US Pat D215-868 maker’s mark, making them a collector's treasure. These mugs come from the personal collection of State Representative Candidate Kimberly Skaggs and are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring their provenance.
These years were crucial for the Republican Party, starting with the 1992 presidential election where incumbent George H.W. Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton. By 1994, the GOP experienced a historic shift with the Republican Revolution, gaining control of Congress for the first time in 40 years, led by Newt Gingrich’s "Contract with America." The following year, the Republican Party pushed for major legislative reforms, setting the tone for the political battles that defined the decade.
Condition: Good, no damage, chips, or cracks. Some crazing is visible, typical for Frankoma pottery from this period.
Size: Each mug measures 4" in height.
These mugs are a fine addition to any collection, embodying both political history and Frankoma’s craftsmanship.
