The Rise in Popularity of Branded Mugs

Needlers, founded in Hull in 1886, became a household name in Britain for its wide range of sweets, chocolates, and fruit‑flavoured confections. By the mid‑20th century, promotional items like branded mugs reinforced the company’s identity in everyday domestic life, blending utility with advertising.

The Fruit Sensations line reflected the popularity of bright, fruity flavours in confectionery marketing. Today, Needlers mugs are prized as nostalgic collectibles that capture the heritage of British sweet shops and the colourful world of advertising pottery.
