Description:

This Liverpool porcelain mug was made by Seth Pennington.  It is printed on either side with the Boy on a Buffalo.  Use of this print is very rare at Liverpool and, indeed, this dated mug is the only example known.  This print was used earlier at Bow and at Derby.  The complex border that decorates the inner and outer rim was popular at Liverpool and was used on the porcelains made at the factories of John Pennington and Seth Pennington.  It is also found on earthenwares.
