Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The mug was made at the Dehua kilns in Fujian province, where this shape was very popular in the late 17th and early 18th century (seven other undecorated examples are in the British Museum). This shape is also seen in English salt-glazed stoneware, from which it may derive an example with a silver rim dated 1682, made in Fulham, London, by John Dwight is in the British Museum (BM AF 16/87, 2-10, 106). John Dwight was the first potter to produce stoneware in England on a successful commercial basis. This shape is also found in earlier German stoneware. The painted decoration was added in Holland in the style and palette of Japanese ‘Kakiemon’ porcelain.
