A truly exceptional Worcester mug decorated in the Plantation Print pattern with grooved loop handle. The mug is of slightly waisted shape with flared foot and top rims. The pattern is clear with no blurring. The condition is perfect, incredibly this mug has survived for 250 years with no damage at all not even a scratch. I very much doubt it has had any use. The Worcester crescent to the base which appears as an open crescent with a smaller hatched crescent inside. The open crescent indicates hand painting but this is not the earlier hand painted example of the Plantation pattern. Measures 11.8cms high.
