Artefact elephant mug photo
I am not sure why the mug was treated with reverance as a great find. I don't think either in the Roman or 17th century period the technology to imprint was around. Looks like something from the Pound Store. Probably has "Made in China" on the bottom. There is no historical evidence the Chinese Empire got this far. If displayed at Antiques Roadshow -"I would say probably circa 1950 and used as a tea mug by a 97 bus conductor who acquired it as a birthday present from his Aunt Maud?"
