Vintage Kirby “World Class” Mug – Tams England Black & Gold Ceramic

Step back into mid-century sales culture with this Kirby “World Class” commemorative mug, crafted in England by Tams Pottery. Glossy black with gold lettering, it carries the bold corporate pride of an era when Kirby vacuums were sold door-to-door and sales achievements were celebrated in style.

The base is marked TAMS – Made in England, a pottery house known for pubware and promotional ceramics throughout the 20th century. This mug would have likely been awarded to a top Kirby representative as a token of success.

Perfect for collectors of corporate memorabilia, vintage kitchenware, or Kirby brand history.
