A small baluster shaped earthenware mug, with an opaque “Jackfield” type black glaze. Plain simple strap handle without terminals. The foot is slightly flared with a turned shallow recessed base. Probably Staffordshire, rather than Jackfield in Shropshire.
This is a finely potted example of a fairly uncommon form in this early ware (called “Shining black” by the potters who made it).
