[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4543372, member: 76316"]One of my favorite mugs but, aside from the seller's description as yellow ware, I'm wholly ignorant about this delight. I believe it's American, and from the eastern side of the country (Pennsylvania?)...and perhaps late 19th C. It is so attractive to me because it's simple, sturdy (I do treat it with respect, if not reverence) and of perfect capacity for my morning Mocha. 4" at the lip, an' again at the foot; 3 3/4" high. 406 grams, 14 1/3 oz. Hand thrown, fairly thin-walled; the grip appears to have been passed through a ribbon machine, a nice subtle touch. Not a mark on it to indicate the maker's pride in its creation...always a puzzle to me. Whatever y'all can add (or subtract), I'll be very much obliged to receive. Thanks for lookin'!
