from the late 1950s - early 60s this is a treacle glazed tankard shaped
large mug with silvered rim and handle. It features two illustrations
from "Coaching Days and Coaching Ways" by W. Outram Tristram,
originally published by Macmillan and Sons in 1988 but seemingly
continuously available in one form
or another for almost 100 years. The illustrations are "Down the Hill
on a Frosty Morning" and "Changing Horses". These tankards are not
uncommon but to find one in excellent condition is becoming more
difficult. There is some general crazing and a little bit of wear to the
silvering on the handle where the thumb would rest but otherwise it's
in very good shape indeed.
