Description:

This earthenware mug shows No. 15, the last in the series numbered by David and Linda Arman.  Below is a different perspective of the mug since part of the scene is covered by the image of Washington.  Because of the small size, only 7 of the states' names are included in the border on the inside of the mug. The central pattern on this example is taken from the source print shown below.   Prior to discovery of the source prints that Clews used for these patterns, researchers David and Linda Arman endeavored to provide descriptive names for them.  The Armans named this scene, Mansion, Winding Drive.
