About the Item

English Creamware Mocha Mug, Ochre Slip Ground, Banded, Circa 1790–1810 Staffordshire, circa 1790–1810 Georgian minimalism in a tankard: an early creamware mocha mug dressed head to foot in warm ochre slip, its only ornament the banding — a broad white collar at the rim on a fine black line, one crisp white ring bisecting the body, and paired white bands with a black line above the flared foot, every ring laid down by the turner’s hand as the pot spun on the lathe. The strap handle finishes in a small molded foliate sprig, an unexpected refinement on what was honest tavern pottery. This is the earlier banded production of the mocha family, before the dendritic “seaweed” patterns took over — the look that modern collectors and decorators prize most, the ochre-and-cream palette sliding effortlessly into contemporary rooms. Dimensions Height: 4⅝ inches (11.7 cm) Width: 4¾ inches (12.1 cm), including handle Depth: 3¼ inches (8.3 cm), rim diameter Condition The mug is in good antique condition, with a professionally executed, invisible repair to a hairline. Provenance Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge References Jonathan Rickard, Mocha and Related Dipped Wares, 1770–1939 (Hanover, N.H.: University Press of New England, 2006). Historical Context Dipped wares were Staffordshire’s everyday genius: slip-decorated, lathe-turned earthenware turned out by the thousands for taverns and kitchens in England and America, yet designed with a graphic economy that reads as strikingly modern. Early banded examples like this mug — documented in Jonathan Rickard’s standard reference on the genre — have moved from humble beginnings to strong collector demand, prized singly and irresistible in groups, where the varied bandings line up like a shelf of abstract paintings.
