Item Description
Ceramic mug 3.25" tall by 2.75" dia. plus handle, has trademark of Buffalo pottery under the base with 1906 copyright and name of Edw. Stern & Co. the publisher of Seymour Eaton's famous titles "The Roosevelt Bears-Their Adventures and Travels" (1905) and "More About Teddy B and Teddy G" (1906). One of the two books includes the illustration on this mug. Scene shows them working on their car with caption "We've Broken Something, Said TEDDY-G./It's Underneath;Get Down And See." Rim and handle have speckle gold accents. Natural tiny craze lines on the glaze with moderate tanning on bottom right front and on reverse to right of the handle on both exterior and interior. No chips or cracks. No damage to illustration. Actually much rarer than the large pitcher usually priced in excess of $1,000 and featuring scenes of the bears, also by Buffalo Pottery. First we've seen.
