Pottery: Norfolk House (Probably)
Tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue
Buff earthenware, thrown, with applied handle, tin-glazed and painted in blue; the glaze has been removed from the base before fireing. The mug stands on a disk base which is slightly concave. It has a bulbous body, a cylindrical neck and a loop handle of oval section with a pinched terminal. The body is decorated with a long label edged by narrow double blue lines and a scalloped line, inscribed 'GOD.SAVE.KING.WILLIAM.&.Q.M.' The neck is encircled by Chinese scrolls between pairs of faint horizontal bands, and down the outside of the handle there is a vertical row of chevrons.
