Vintage Handmade Pottery Mug. Measures 4" in height. Very good condition. Would make a great display piece.

This unique handcrafted mug features a rustic terracotta clay body with a vibrant, glossy orange-brown glaze. The piece is personalized with the name "Alvina" hand-painted in a flowing white script, accented by delicate blue and cream flourishes. The lower portion of the mug is decorated with a detailed, high-relief embossed band of wildflowers, giving the piece a tactile, sculptural quality typical of mid-century American or European studio pottery.

Standing 4 inches tall, this mug is an excellent example of personalized folk art. The interior is fully glazed, and the exterior shows the natural, slightly irregular variations that define "hand-thrown" or "slab-built" artisanal work. It serves as a charming vessel for a morning coffee or as a unique vanity cup for a collector of personalized vintage ceramics. Its warm earthy tones and traditional floral motifs make it a perfect addition to a cottagecore or farmhouse-style kitchen.

This item is vintage, over 60 years old.
