[QUOTE="lauragarnet, post: 49713, member: 105"]Okay, I'm going through old folders on my hard drive full of pictures of stuff I've never finished researching and ID'ing. This mug is packed away somewhere, and I don't have notes with measurements and capacity, etc. in my folder with the pictures. From memory though, it's a biggish mug, at least a 10 oz. capacity. Made of a hard stoneware type of pottery. It's another one of those damaged things I bought to research, this time because the maker's mark is so unusual. When I Google for Mexican pottery maker's marks of a human footprint, I get lot's of hits for a park on the New Mexico/Mexican border where there are thousands of petroglyphs. Some of them are human foot prints. So that was pretty fascinating. Footprint petroglyphs are all over the world too, I now know. Some with 6 toes! Mystery mark below....
