The Meaning Behind the Name Where does the name "Tom and Jerry" come from? It's not from the cartoon characters. Actually, it is a old fashioned term for drinking mugs, based on an alcoholic drink made with rum and eggs that was popular back in the 1800's.  The Tipsy Texan notes, "The cocktail was prominent enough by the 1880's that every bar 'worth wrecking with a hatchet would get down the china Tom & Jerry bowl and the little 'shaving mugs' that went with it.'" And the cocktails popularity persisted into the 20th century. In the 1960 Hollywood classic movie The Apartment, an exasperated Jack Lemmon rattles off to his boss who seeks to use his bachelor pad to entertain a lady, "The Tom & Jerry mix is in the fridge." Thus, when HLC produced these mugs, they were popularly identified for holding hot liquids, like the Tom & Jerry cocktail, and thus, they were called  Tom & Jerry mugs . The vintage Tom and Jerry mugs were produced in all eleven colors. (The scarcest being ivory.) Condition: Used. Category: Pottery & Glass › Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware › Mugs.
