REDUCED Antique German china mug with Greyhound dog image

Collectibles : Decorative

 

I don't find as many Greyhound things as I would like, so it was fun to find this lovely old transfer printed porcelain mug on a recent trip. Bearing an old mark on the bottom that says Germany in green, it's in wonderful condition, with no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs. The Greyhound is in mid stride, and wears a red collar, standing on a field of green grass. The decal is strong and crisp, in excellent condition. The fancy handle and the rim are luster enhanced, and the cup has a lovely shape, with a shaped bottom and a flare at the top. Standing a bit over 3" tall and 4" across by the handle, it has a top diameter 3.25". Dating to the early part of the twentieth century, you will note that it has appropriate wear on the base, attesting to its age. A charmer for the Greyhound or Whippet lover, an excellent old Sight Hound piece.
