Antique Victorian 19th Century Irish Ceramic Tankard Mug Lovers & Cows:
$295.00

One of three large mugs or tankards found in County Cork in the 1980s. This one has a lovers and cows in a fieldwith sky and clouds. This mug also unusually has a repeated acanthus shapedecoration inside the rim. I believe looking at other mugs and the shape of the base, handles and decoration, although similar to, it is not Belleek which is usually marked as such. It is from the mid to late 19th century. As mug isn\'t marked and i\'m not a ceramics expert, please make your own mind up from the photos and let me know if you have any idea which of the smaller Irish potteries it may have been made by! This mug is in very good condition with just one small chip on the outside edge on the left of the lip, see the last photo. I understand that it is rare to find one in absolutely perfect conditon and that signs of wear and use help distinguish a genuine antique from a copy.
