I was told that this item is victorian. Could anyone shine a light on it's true origins?

There is a cute little frog in green glaze on the inside of the mug.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Your mark is worn, but it looks like the Bordallo Pinheiro mark with a frog in the centre. The Portuguese company was founded in 1866, is still in business today. I believe older pieces did not have “Made in Portugal on them. Can you try to get a close up of just the maker’s mark?

Thank you. I'll get a close-up of the mark as soon as I can get over to visit my friend again (it's his piece). It's a curious item; at first, I thought it may not be antique as it's in such good condition.
