Tin glazed pottery, called Delftware. It's made in the Netherlands. Today, it's marketed under the name Delft Blue.
The Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum factory in Makkum, Friesland continues the production of tin glazed earthenware to this day.

Umm ... well ... no.
But I really wanted to say yes for the detail and thoroughness of the answer.
Wow.

The material the mugs are made of is fairly pedestrian. In fact it's most noted characteristic is its durability.

You are on the right side of the Atlantic too.

Ironstone china? It's a type of vitreous pottery made on the United Kingdom since the 18th century. It's often called earthenware. It was introduced as a mass-produced, cheaper alternative to porcelain. It got it's name from it's strength and durability. A lot of it was manufactured in Staffordshire.
Here is an article on it.

One of the early manufacturers was Charles James Mason, and his wares were marketed under the name Mason's Ironstone China.
