I think the mug is European but the art is, I strongly believe, American (or Canadian?). Those kids look so very familiar...but I cannot place them, even with the help of the E.C. signature. When were Dunce-caps in vogue? That poor kid! With any luck, though...one of you will recognize this li'l treasure. Thanks for looking!
