Pharmacy - Flavour Kings 1876 Two-Tone Coffee Mug
Colourized photo from 1876
Original title: Hance Bros. & White's exhibit--Main Building
Photographer: Centennial Photographic
Location: 4231 Avenue of the Republic, Philadelphia, PA
Isn't that a great display? We are in the Centennial 1876 Exposition in Philadelphia. It's a place where over 14,000 people, businesses and countries showed off their wares in the most decorative way possible.
Hance Brothers & White were flavour chemists. Though they did have a small range of drug related products ranging from cough medicine, bronchitis, sore throat treatments, hearing and urinary problems. I assume it was a range of drugs and not a cure all for all of them, and they probably tasted really good.
In the past soda was sold in pharmacies, usually as a way to deliver medicine or just as a tonic of some kind. And this company sold the flavours for those soda's. Drinks were sometimes sold as a tonic using mineral water, or if carbonation as added, a soda. They had a many flavours such as: Raspberry, blackberry, cherry, peach, pear, grape, strawberry, plum, quince, currant and more. They sold it as a liquid, syrup and as a powder. Many flavours came from actual fruit and others were simulated artificial flavours.
Those devices on the bottom were called Conical plate drug mills, and the clear glass items on the bottom left shelf were some kind of filtration device. It's unknown if they sold or used these, or just needed interesting filler.

Great mug which I customised for myself using my photo library. I unfortunately broke the handle of my first mug. As my previous order was kept in history of orders I was able just to reorder without having to customise the mug again, & so was able to order exactly the same mug as a replacement. The customisation turned out exactly as I requested, the prints & colours crisp & clear & true to the originals

I love this mug, I designed it for myself (the only thing wrong is the pink color in the print: it's darker than the preview).
The inside color is perfect and also the print has a high quality finissage. colors are a bit Darker, so my pink heart and logo aren't like the preview.
