Early Pink and Gold 

Sunderland Lustre Mug w/ Dragon Handle

This early Sunderland Lustre Mug is English made and fired in the traditional pink and gold fish eye colors.  It pictures a hand-painted triangle with "Wisdom, Strength and Beauty" and a Blazing Sun in the center.   Its most striking feature is the unbroken dragon handle, a typical Chinese feature borrowed and put to use by English potters.  It stands 5 inches tall and measures 5 inches in diameter.
