Printed Whiteware Mug

Light blue transfer-printed whiteware mug. The transfer printed pattern is "Florentine" likely made by Thomas, John, and Joseph Mayer pottery in Burslem, Staffordshire, England, between 1842 and 1855 or by one of their successors Mayer Brothers & Elliot (active 1855–1858), Mayer & Elliot (active 1858–1861), and Liddle, Elliot & Son (active 1862–1869). This series depicts a motif that became popular among English manufacturers with at least fourteen different firms making some version of a "Florentine" pattern.
