This is a beautiful 19th century pottery handled mug or tankard decorated with very attractive orange and pink peonies and foliage with gold and pink lustre decoration above a trellis design. The foliage is highlighted with a discount lovely navy and gold decoration which has a lovely shine.
The interior rim of the mug is banded in pink lustre which is complete. The single handle of the mug is also beautifully decorated with pink lustre leaves.
The condition of the mug is very good and the decoration is bright and complete with no obvious issues. The handle is secure and complete and the mug sits level on a surface and the decoration is bright and fresh.
One very minor defect is a single tiny hairline crack to the rim which is barely visible and does not detract from the beauty of this antique and very decorative mug.
There is a tiny impressed mark on the base of the mug which I can't make out even with a glass.
The mug is 10cm high and 10cm wide discounting the width of the handle which is 3.5cm at its widest.
This mug would display very well as part of a decorative scheme and as an addition to a collection of antique mugs.
