Stamped "Russ Berrie & Co, Inc., Oakland, NJ, Item No 8025, Made in Korea" on the base, this 1970s ceramic mug pairs two dressed-up pink pigs pressing snouts together. He in a black bow tie, she in a purple scarf bow — more love than the mug can hold.

The two pigs are painted in soft pink with bright accent colors on their bows, rendered with the same cheerful, uncomplicated charm found across Russ Berrie's novelty giftware line.
It's a delightful Valentine's Day or anniversary gift, a fun find for a Russ collector, or a quietly funny addition to a mug shelf that takes itself a little too seriously.
Russ Berrie built his New Jersey novelty empire starting in 1963 on exactly this kind of piece — small, cheerful, and immediately giftable. "Hogs and Kisses" (#8025) captures that spirit perfectly, with the text below the pigs reading "Hogs and Kisses" in purple and red.
