This simple creamware pottery mug with\u00a0cylindrical form\u00a0is\u00a0decorated with a black transfer decoration of the Farmer’s Toast aka God Speed the Plough. It was m<\/span>ade in England in the late 1700s-early 1800s and measures 4-3\/4″ \u00a0high. A tinsmith fashioned a sturdy replacement handle, attaching it to a metal band at the top\u00a0and bolting it through the body at\u00a0the bottom. I love the boldness of the dark printed decoration\u00a0and patinated metal handle against the stark cream color of the mug.<\/p>\n

Let the Wealthy & Great,<\/p>\n

Roll in Splendor & State.<\/p>\n

I envy them not I declare it.<\/p>\n

I eat my own Lamb,<\/p>\n

My own Chicken & Ham.<\/p>\n

I shear my own Fleece & wear it.<\/p>\n

I have Lawns I have Bowers,<\/p>\n

I have fruits I have Flowers.<\/p>\n

The lark is my morning alarmer.<\/p>\n

So jolly Boys now,<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s God speed the Plough.<\/p>\n

Long Life & Success to<\/p>\n

The Farmer.<\/p>\n

Although the black transfer decoration differs, the form is the same and shows what the simple loop handle would have looked like on my mug.<\/p>\n
