A Quart Pewter Export Mug by John Townsend - SOLD

The quart taper-sided mug was produced in the shop of John Townsend, London, 1748-1801. Townsend worked as John Townsend until the 1760's. He then went into many different partnerships ending up with his succession by his son-in-law and grandson.

This mug is in near fine condition with an excellent touchmark on the inside bottom along with the WR Crown touch (verification) to the left of the handle.

A sturdy well made mug. The handle is of the early form "attention" handle.
