It is lavishly decorated with two bands of brown slip, &#8220;seaweed&#8221; decoration, and rouletted patterns at the top and middle. It stands nearly 6 inches high.<\/p>\n<p>Strange that even with the sustained damage, which occurred over 100 years ago, the original strap handle with foliate terminals remains intact.\u00a0The multiple fractures were stabilized by a tinker in the 1800s by adding two metal bands around the top and middle section. The mug no longer holds liquids as it once did, but remains a staunch symbol of survival.<\/p>\n<p>I was thrilled to add this beauty, once owned by author Jonathan Rickard, to my collection. Jonathan writes: &#8220;The quart mocha mug came from a Rhode Island dealer whose name escapes me. It was at the Tolland, Connecticut annual show perhaps ten years ago. Like most dipped wares, it will remain anonymous regarding its maker.&#8221; Thank you Jonathan, the Rhode Island dealer, and all of the other previous owners for saving this wonderful mug from the trash heap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=13199\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13199\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
