Mug
Frog mug, hand-coloured in red, yellow and green and splashed with pink lustre decoration. It is transfer-printed with a sailor and lass, he pointing to a warship at anchor in the background. Inscribed above: 'THE TOKEN OR JACK'S SAFE RETURN' below 'IF YOU LOVES I AS I LOVES YOU/NO PAIR AS HAPPY AS WE TWO.' On the other side a verse within a decorative border with a ship above inscribed: 'When tempest's (sic) mingle sea and sky/And wind's like lion's, rage and rend/Ship's o'er the mountains water's fly/Or down unfathom'd depths descend/Through skill avail not, strength decay/Delive us good Lord we pray'.
