Description:
A tall earthenware mug printed in medium blue underglaze with the Ancient Bridge and Swan pattern. It is recorded in the TCC database with this assigned name. The pattern is skillfully printed twice on the piece giving the impression that it is a panoramic design. The inner and outer borders are of different geometric designs. The outer border design is repeated on the handle. This pattern was noted without name in FOB Bulletin No. 153, p. 5 on a sucrier but with a very different border.
Condition: Very Good.
