VRare C1800 MOCHA WARE MUG With RARE ARROW BAND & SEAWEED With 4 GREEN BANDS,
Item History & Price
Most MOCHAWARE (MOCHA WARE) is attributed to STAFFORDSHIRE MAKERS and of course MOST are NEVER MARKED - This one appears to have a small impressed fused letter "TP" ... then 3 very tiny letters (I will get pictures of the marks.) The French and the Americans made mocha as well. I get so few pieces in my lifetime, I have not concentrated on the study of this genre and I think it SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THIN and RATHER LIGHT, so would be the EARLY PERIOD and assume it at one time was a li...ght CREAMWARE now discolored. BUSY, BUSY DECORATION being the RARE FULL "ARROW BAND" that is FINE AND BOLD AND RATHER DRAMATIC - Then, top it with the SCORED 4 GREEN SINGLE BANDS ... well, I COULD GO ON! FABULOUS FINE SEAWEED and the MOCHA BROWN BACKGROUND ....took me to my knees. Right at 3 1/4" Top to Bottom being 3 3/8" at Top Diameter. Note also the fancy little cut pattern to the handle. WELL it is HERE TO SELL and I will have a FAIR ASKING PRICE (One older man sat in a chair ... not 1 yard from this mug ... for about one hour or more... hovering! LOL lol lol) --- FREE SHIPPING with FULL PAID INSURANCE ---- GREAT FIND! ----- I LOVE MY JOB! -----Talk to me ......
