Peanuts first ran in newspapers on October 2, 1950, and Snoopy has been on coffee mugs for a large part of the years since. A mug is one of the easiest ways to use a piece of Peanuts every day, and one of the most-given Snoopy gifts. The range runs from $10 everyday mugs to vintage milk glass that collectors hunt down by slogan. Here's how to tell them apart and choose well.
The main types of Snoopy mugs
Everyday ceramic character mugs
This is the biggest group in our Snoopy mugs collection. Examples include Gibson's Peanuts Buddies mugs, where each character has a saying on the back, the Funky Pals mugs (14 oz) and the two-tone character mugs. There's also Vandor's Joe Cool Large Mug (18 oz, microwave and dishwasher safe), Vandor's Peanuts All Stars mug (12 oz), and ZAK's Snoopy and Woodstock mugs (12 oz). Most fall between about $10 and $17.
Glass mugs
Gibson's clear glass Snoopy mugs, such as "But First Coffee" and "Responsibilities Later", hold 18 oz and are dishwasher safe. For something older, the Anchor Hocking vintage glass root beer mug carries the line "It never fails....three root beers and Woodstock falls sound asleep."
Vintage Fire-King milk glass
Fire-King was Anchor Hocking's line of heat-resistant glassware, and its white milk glass Peanuts mugs are a favorite with mug collectors. Collectors often look for them by the saying on the side. In stock right now are "At Times Life Is Pure Joy", "The People's Choice", "I Think I'm Allergic To Morning" and "Snoopy's Treats". Condition matters a lot on these. The print can fade and the rim can chip, so our titles call out issues such as "Slightly Faded" or a tiny rim chip.
Holiday mugs
Christmas is the deepest holiday category. Current examples include the Gibson Snoopy Large Christmas Doghouse mug and the Snoopy Santa Christmas Lights mug (both have matching dinnerware), Gibson's 2009 large 16-oz Christmas mugs (Santa's Little Helper Woodstock and Joy To The World), Vandor's 14-oz Charlie Brown and Snoopy Holiday Mug, and a Galerie Christmas mug that comes with a 4.5-inch plush Snoopy. For October there's a tall 6-inch Peanuts Halloween mug.
Anniversary mugs
The comic strip's 60th anniversary in 2010 produced several mugs that are now collectible. Examples include the 11-oz Peanuts Gang 60th Anniversary mug and Westland's 12-oz "Through The Years" mugs of Lucy and Charlie Brown.
MetLife promotional mugs and travel mugs
MetLife used Snoopy in its advertising for about three decades, until 2016, and gave away branded mugs along the way. Our MetLife mugs and cups include Happy Snoopy, Joe Cool, "Go Green", a 140th Anniversary mug with a ceramic spoon, and a 16-oz stainless steel travel mug. For the car, there's also a 17-oz double-wall Peanuts Gang Travel Mug in four designs.
Novelty mugs
Other one-off designs include the large ceramic "bloated" character mugs of Schroeder, Woodstock and Sally (4.5 inches tall), CTI's black personalized mugs, a Camp Snoopy mini ceramic tankard, and Charlie Brown's "I've Wasted Another Day" philosophy mug.

For daily use or for display?
If it's for daily coffee, choose a newer ceramic or glass mug whose listing says dishwasher safe or microwave safe. The Vandor Joe Cool Large Mug and the Gibson clear glass mugs both say so. Standard mugs hold 11–12 oz; choose 14–18 oz if you like a big pour.
If it's vintage, wash it by hand. Dishwashers wear down printed graphics over time, and older milk glass and decal mugs weren't made for microwaves. Many collectors keep vintage Fire-King and anniversary mugs on a shelf and use a newer mug for every day.
What collectors check on a vintage Snoopy mug
- Print condition: bright, complete graphics with no fading or rubbed spots. This affects value more than anything else.
- Rim and handle: run a finger around the rim to feel for chips, and check where the handle joins the body for cracks.
- Glaze: on ceramic, look for crazing (fine cracks in the glaze), especially inside the cup.
- Markings: check for a maker's mark on the base and a copyright line on the graphic. Older Peanuts designs usually read © United Feature Syndicate.
Our listings note these details. "Slightly Faded" or "tiny chip on rim" appears in the title when it applies.
