Warning! Resonant 19th Century English Transfer Decorated Child's Mug red headed doll and with the flame stitch

and with the flame stitch one especially feeling to me perfectly poised to have a conversation with an abstract painting

I am not certain if OV signifies the initials of the artist or something else

but the booklet is holding together well and individual drawings are in good shape

I really like the somewhat looser handwriting in this one

a few very small light scratches to the surface of the glaze

Warning! Resonant 19th Century English Transfer Decorated Child's Mug red headed doll and with the flame stitchDifferent 19th century child's mugs for different reasons though made for children, these always feel quite loaded in one way or another, and here the all caps urgent "WARNING" feels very timely indeed. Also a reminder that, as much as we might like to imagine otherwise, most childhoods were never carefree. 2 11 16" d x 2 3 4" t. 3 1 2" across at handle. Very very good antique condition, no chips, cracks or other issues, just a few imperfections
