This mug goes back to the early 70s, made in Holkham, England. The price tag is still on the bottom, stated in British Pounds. The mug is a deep slate blue with a profile of Madam Tussaud* embossed on the front. The words "Madame Tussaud" and "1761-1850" are also embossed on the top and bottom. A real collectors item for London History followers, Madame Tussaud Collectors or vintage mug collectors. Great vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Was a gift and never used. Stored in a cool dry place. Comes from a smoke-free/pet-free home.

Over 2.5 million guests visit Madame Tussaud’s in London each year and the exhibition that still bears her name is now firmly established as London’s top attraction. The story of Madame Tussaud is as fascinating as that of the exhibition itself. Two things about her life are especially noteworthy. First, she spent her early years amid the turmoil of the French Revolution and came to meet many of the characters involved; second, and perhaps more unusually, she succeeded in business at a time when women were rarely involved in the world of commerce. With her sons, Madame Tussaud built her exhibition into one of the capital’s leading attractions and she remained actively involved in its running almost to the end of her life. Her last work, a remarkable self-portrait that is still on show, was completed only eight years before her death aged 89. She was an incredible woman. A true survivor, she lived through some of the most turbulent events in history, and at a time when women stayed at home and looked after children, she was a successful artist, showman and businesswoman. Her vision lives on at Madame Tussaud’s in London today. The appeal of the exhibition has evolved over the past 200 years, keeping pace with public interest and always offering guests a unique opportunity to interact with the famous and the infamous. Long after her death in 1850, the legacy of this tiny but indomitable Frenchwoman continues to flourish.
