I think it’s a replica of a 19th Century famous, reputable and historic pottery/china/cookware maker with distinctive insignia; they possibly also did textile. I think from New England. Possibly what’s referred to as in the craftsman style, but I don’t know about that for sure. This is not real expensive, and I think the company does online mail order.
The mug is thick, white, nice porcelin. A 1/4″ dark green band runs just below the rim. A much narrower band runs parallel below it, about an inch down. Within this inch between these bands are three equilidistant figures: One looks like an one of those universal circle signs for men or women. Inside the circle is something that resembles 2 mirror-imaged “Rs” that looks like a cattle ranch insignia.
The second figure resembles the letter “T” as if it were made with 6 children’s blocks–3 brown, 1 white and 1 the same dark green.
The third, the smallest, looks like an old-fashioned man’s hat; it’s the same brown. Thanks.
Ya know with the scare about lead. paint …….. you would have to ingest……. yes eat……… 100 coffee cups to get even a trace amount of lead to hurt you ……. its the same with all the toys they are recalling………… No child is going to eat 100 plastic Elmos….. if you are worried……….. throw it out
