| This is a well known but difficult to find Staffordshire childs mug showing reclining cats on one side and resting dogs on the other, shown on a blue ground. Reticulation to the top of the mug and transfer decorated inside the rim with a piece of the same transfer to the underside. The mug is 4" tall and 4 1/8 wide, this one being the largest of the three sizes made. A great addition to your collection. Excellent condition with a shard of undecorated pottery to one side of the mug which shows in the picture. These mugs were made in the 19th century and painted and decorated by women and children who worked at the potteries in the towns. Most of the pottery that was used in Europe was made in the 5 pottery towns in the Staffordshire area. These mugs were given as rewards of merit, birthday gifts, tokens of affection and were used and loved by the children who received them. they are highly collectable today and this one is one of the most desirable. | ||
