Help from UK folks

[lilnixon]

I have been trying to find some mugs that are made in the UK. I can't find any on the internet, so maybe some one that lives there can help. I have attatched a picture.

Have you got a makers name.....if not im gonna look whilst out and about anyway to see if i can find some.

Are these a type of beer drinking mug of hot drink mug??im guessing hot drink.

will try my best.

And i think its classed as studio pottery...could be wrong.

ICE QUEEN is here in the USA for a couple of weeks, she just looked at the mug and suggested that there probably is some makers mark on the bottom or somewhere that will identify the pottery that makes that mug. If a makers mark can be found, she may be able to look in her area for these mugs.

Isn't that an antique cider mug?

We have a set that my wife got when we lived in the UK. Galv is right. They usually come from small potteries that could be anywhere in the country. No large scale retail outlets. Check the bottom and tell us what it says. We may get enough information to track it down but since they tend to "one off" pieces or sets, you may not be able to match it exactly. I'll have a look at my wife's set and see what it says. Check back later.

"I'll have a look at my wife's set and see what it says"

I'll bet it says:

"ETF, regardless of what pottery made me, if I look like LilNixon's you should mail me and some of my twins to her. Thanks"

That'll never work. In my house I am answerable to higher authority than God. In fact, She thinks she ......

Anyway, I looked and there was nothing on the bottom except a date and a set of initials and she can't remember where they come from except that it was a little pottery down on the south coast somewhere around Poole. No help. Back to see if anyone else can come up with anything.

We actually had several variations of the mug. It is pottery and we got that one from the actual potter who made it. He was located somewhere outside Cambridge, but we can't find anything on the internet about him, and I can't remeber what village he was in.
I will check the bottom for a mark when I get home.

Can you post pictures of the makers mark from the bottom?

Spoke to John, there is no mark on the mug. He said that we got that particular mug just outside of Over, in a little industrial park. We had some smaller ones we got at a craft show.
