Bottoms Up Jiggling Nudie Mug
aka. Bottoms Up Nodder Mug
Looking to match this with "Drink or Bust" from same maker "Grizelle, Japan". The "let them swing" mug mentioned below is not a match for this one: it is a totally different mug shape.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Small patch of paint missing from hair; small Japan sticker on base.

Bottoms Up Jiggling Nudie Mug
aka Bottoms Up Nodder Mug in 5 collections
This is a handled mug showing the back of a black haired nude wahine. Mug is airbrushed and has a wood grain. The wahine's bum is on brass hinges and jiggles back and forth with lettering that reads: "Bottoms Up". The bottom of the mug is marked with a "G" in a wreath. This mark also occurs with the addition of "Japan" or "Occupied Japan". It is a Noritake contract mark for Giftcraft Importers of Toronto Canada in operation during the 50's and 60's. There is a matching mug showing the front of the wahine with breasts that jiggle and lettering along the side which reads: "Let 'Them' Swing".
