About the Item

This elegant English Mochaware mug, made around 1815, is decorated with both broad and narrow bands of slip in shades of light and midnight brown, alternating in precise rhythm around the cylindrical body. Between the darker and lighter slip bands are three fine rows of inlaid rouletting in geometric motifs, lending a sense of movement to the design. The contrast between the earthy tones and crisp white ground gives the piece an unexpectedly modern visual appeal, a hallmark of the best early 19th-century mochaware. The applied handle is beautifully proportioned and terminates in sharply modeled acanthus leaves, a detail that reveals the potter’s skill and the neoclassical sensibility of the era. The harmony of color, geometry, and texture in this piece captures the essence of English slip-decorated earthenware, functional yet deeply artistic. Dimensions: 4.9" tall x 4.9" deep from spout to handle, 3.25" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $1,200 Decoration: Alternating light and midnight brown slip bands with three inlaid rouletted geometric borders Material: Slip-decorated earthenware (Mochaware) Style: Georgian English pottery, neoclassical form Origin: England Date: Circa 1815 Notable Details: Inlaid rouletting adds geometric refinement to the banded slip decoration Crisp acanthus leaf handle terminals demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship Contrasting slip tones create a bold yet balanced aesthetic Exemplary of early 19th-century English utilitarian art pottery Combines functional design with the timeless appeal of neoclassical proportion
