Antique : Rare puce transferware Reform ( English & American Political History ) Mug

A very rare British / American Reform Mug in puce having Britannia alongside a lion with an American Native Indian on the ground between them also with flags, sailing ship etc... Bearing the words Union and Reform - Internally with a border with flags and flora and bearing the words - Commerce and Freedom & Unity and Liberty

Circa : early 19th century

There is a piece that has been broken and restuck crudely - no missing pieces (slight fritting where piece has been out - not bad) - a star tight line on base not all the way through and will probably come out when cleaned - I have not cleaned this item leaving it to the restorer in case the broken piece becomes unstuck (looks like animal glue), for safety.

3.5 inches (9cm) height approx

Looking with a lens the transfers have been drawn using 'dots' and 'lines'

A lovely rare Mug - listed elsewhere (1 bid ensures Auction will be completed here and removed from other portal)
