Description
Amusing Rookwood mug with the portrait of a Chimpanzee wearing a Civil War era Union cap while lustily smoking a cigar. Done by Bruce Horsfall in 1894, the mug stands 5 inches tall and is in excellent original condition. Marks include the company logo, which indicates the date, shape number 711, an impressed W for white clay and Horsfall's incised monogram. Fine overall crazing. This piece shows Horsfall's abiding love of animals along with his talent as an artist and curious sense of humor.
