Mug 1892

This Rookwood Pottery Company mug, created in 1892, showcases the artistry of the American Arts and Crafts movement. The mug's design features an intricate floral pattern, likely inspired by nature, with a silvered overlay on a glossy, multi-colored glaze. This piece, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reflects the Rookwood Pottery Company's signature style of combining artistic expression with functional objects, making it a fine example of late 19th-century American ceramics.
