Figure 42 Mugs, England, ca. 1710. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 7" and 6 1/2". The quart mug on the left was probably made in Nottingham and has an impressed circular ale-measure mark below the wide band, with the uncrowned conjoined initials “AR” in relief. The mug on the right was possibly made in Bristol. The pale gray fabric has a freckled iron-rich dip overall. These mugs were included in Jonathan Horne’s 1985 Exhibition of English Brown Stoneware, in Kensington Church Street, London. |
