RARE ANTIQUE Gilt And Blue Mug Possibly Early Masons Or Staffordshire
April 22, 2024
Beautiful example of an old mug. Research indicates that this is mostly an early Masons or Staffordshire mug. There appears to have perhaps been a circular type stamp but this is difficult to determine. C is marked on the base. There is wear to the gilt for this piece and some wear/scratches including around the inside of the mug (see photos) there is wear to all examples of this early piece found online and so this is to be expected. Blue and gilt gold floral/foliage pattern. Early piece Circa 18-19th. 10cm diameter of base. 11cm diameter of rim. 16cm rim-end of mug handle.
