| This is a wonderful Creil mocha creamware mug in a seaweed decoration. the decoration is brown and looks wonderful against the warmth of the creamware. The Creil factory was founded about 1784 for the manufacture of English style earthenware. It was the first French pottery to use transfer printing . Porcelain was never made there, only pottery. Marks are either stamped in the paste as in this mug or were stenciled. This Creil mocha mug is 2 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" wide. There is a flake to the rim as I show in the pictures. Otherwise the decoration is clear and very nice. This little mocha mug dates about 1810 and is a real treat. Some of the pictures are dark, the lighter ones are more the real color. | ||
