White salt-glazed stoneware with a splash of brown slip on the handle and a silver mount
Creamy-white salt-glazed stoneware, thrown and turned, with an applied handle , and silver mount. The mug is cylindrical with slightly sloping sides, and two raised turned bands above the lower edge. The handle has central vertical depression, and two notches at the lower end made by pressing the handle into the body. The top is decorated with a splash of brown dip, and there is also brown dip round the upper edge under the wide silver mount which has an engraved crest on the front, and a scalloped lower edge pierced by small heart-shapes.

The notches at the lower end of the handle probably indicate that this was made at the factory founded by John Dwight at Fulham, and after his death run successively by his widow, Lydia, between 1703 and 1709, or by his son, Dr Samuel Dwight between 1709 and 1737. However, it has also been attributed to Staffordshire, see Documentation.
