Cobalt highlights to handle terminals. Color and decoration are consistent with pieces produced by a number of potters in Rockingham County, Virginia, including Emmanuel Suter and Joseph Silber. Few cobalt-decorated mugs from the state of Virginia are known. Chip or in-the-firing iron ping to rim. Otherwise excellent, essentially as-made condition. H 6 1/4".
