Comments

The cylindrical redware mug has vertical rows of dark brown sponge decoration around the outside.  A band of dimples positioned closely to one another is pressed into the outside near the top.  A handle with a molded spine is pressed into the side walls.  The rim of the mug has been shaped to form a pouring spout at a right angle to the handle and suitable for a right-handed user.
