A charming mid 19th century pottery mug bearing the name “Charles” and decorated with hand-painted floral motifs in traditional burgundy and green tones.

Personalised named mugs were popular throughout the Victorian period and were often produced as gifts for children, commemorative pieces, or everyday household wares.

This example displays the simple elegance associated with early Victorian pottery, featuring a sturdy cylindrical form, loop handle, and attractive floral decoration surrounding the applied name.

The soft cream body and hand-painted details give the piece plenty of character and make it an appealing addition to collections of antique pottery, named wares, and country house kitchenalia.

Named mugs such as this provide a fascinating glimpse into domestic life during the nineteenth century and remain highly collectible today.
