This red earthenware mug, created by David Elers between 1690 and 1700, is a prime example of early English stoneware. The mug features a cylindrical body with a handle and is decorated with incised floral and bird motifs. The horizontal ribbing and the use of red earthenware are characteristic of Elers' style, which drew inspiration from the then-popular Chinese redware pottery. This mug, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the early stages of ceramic production in England.
