| This is a wonderful old Creamware child's mug with a brown transfer showing 3 boys in a rowboat and dressed in 19th century costume. The letters of the alphabet are on each side of the transfer. The transfer is clear and without imperfections. These were made my laying a tissue thin paper on which the design was drawn over a blank mug or plate, the piece was fired and the design was transfered to the blank mug or plate. Then it was colored or painted whichever was to be done. glazed and sometimes painted again over the glaze. Teaching aids for 19th century children these are highly valued and in demand today. this is a excellent example of the best of the children's category. the mug dates 1840 and is perfect. Three inches tall and 3" wide. the condition is excellent. A great gift for the fishing enthusiast. | ||
