Hand painted pottery mug marked Mexico on the base with initials. Scene of a mother and child surrounded by cactus plants. The mug measures 4.5" tall x 4.5" wide not counting the handle. Oversized mug holds 24 ounces Pottery is clay like, rough textured where there is no glaze. Inside and rim are glazed along with any painted areas and the handle Very Good Vintage Condition There are some uneven or rough spots in the unglazed portions of the mug. This is from the handmade quality of the mug. Also a surface crack on the outside bottom of the mug where the signatures are. Looks to be from the drying or kiln process. Does Not go all the way through as the pottery is quite thick and mug does not leak. Please see the photos for details. E17O-a
