They were the products of a time in which hunting and drinking were, as contemporary hunting ballads attest, strongly connected and viewed as great pleasures in life. Hare-hunting was the most common form of hunting at this time but fox-hunting, which is depicted on this mug, was becoming increasingly fashionable. It has been suggested that woodcut illustrations for popular hunting ballads inspired the decoration of the mugs.Surviving examples of hunting mugs have been divided into four types, labelled A to D. This mug belongs to the ‘Type C’ group with a clockwise hunt. Hunting mugs are thought to have been made by potteries in London and in Bristol. Traditionally, ‘Type C’ mugs were attributed to Bristol but the names and places inscribed on this mug suggest that a London origin is more probable. ‘Danby Dale’ is in North Yorkshire and ‘Hermit whate’ probably refers to Armattwhate, a village in the region. Robert Petch, the man named on the mug, was a landowner in the area. Petch's family papers demonstrate he also owned land in Henley-on-Thames. Long-distance communication was difficult in the 18th-century and therefore it is more likely Petch commissioned the mug from a London pottery than from a Bristol one as London was closer to Henley. W. W. Hamilton Foyn has argued that ‘Type C’ mugs were the product of the Lambeth High Street pottery in Vauxhall.referenceterm-121036adlib-term-121036d94c6987-b658-37d7-a4c1-f5da804d2e4018th Century, second quarter#referenceterm-107736adlib-term-107736e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1George IIreferenceterm-110043adlib-term-110043637f6c30-a5eb-397f-9cc6-9e2f5a3d150bliteralEnglandEnglandcountryliteralLondonLondonregionVauxhallbrown on top half, grey on bottom halfreferenceterm-34794adlib-term-34794de23d2db-1e19-38a6-9db0-80f062e799caslipbuffreferenceterm-42825adlib-term-42825858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39dstonewarereferenceterm-37110adlib-term-37110ef92f1a8-1400-3fa3-863f-e099781ea442salt-glazeHeightcm20.9Widthcm20referencemedia-35023adlib-media-35023ec087553-d389-3afc-ac23-448f4a94b701jpegaa/aa2/C_1200_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162842318931imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1200_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162842318931imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1200_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162842318931imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1200_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162842318931image0media
