Smoking Cowboy Vintage Mahon Made Stoneware Ugly Face Coffee Mug Tankard READ

Description: This is a vintage Mahon Made Stoneware mug/tankard. This was a prolific pottery where each authentic piece was hand signed by the potter who made this mug. This mug comes out of an ugly face mug collection from an estate. Even though marked as used, it has no sign of wear/tear damage and comes to the buyer in "old/new" condition. "Mahon Made Stoneware was started in Laguna Beach, California, on Laguna Road in the 1970s. A family run business, the potters were Doug Mahon and his siblings, and a few production potters for the studio workshop. The potters often initialed what they made. They moved to Santa Ana, and to Fountain Valley in other years, active from the 1970s at least through the 1980s. Besides character or funny face mugs and jars, they also made candle holders, lamps, and other utilitarian pottery. The vintage character, "funny face" comical pottery vessels are collectible and popular." -Collector's Weekly This vintage mug is hand thrown, and signed, "DM". It is a mustachioed, cigarette hanging from mouth. hat over eyes...ready for that coffee charge in the morning or beer chill in the evening...whatever the times call for. The studio pottery pieces sold by Boomerang Barn which may be used for food or drink are individually tested for lead and the results are shown in the listings. Vintage pieces often contain lead. Please make sure all studio pottery pieces, old or new, used for food or drink are tested for lead. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)..."Today many potters of traditional or 'folk' pottery have switched to non-lead glazes, but they may still be using old kilns that were once firing lead-containing glazes, unintentionally contaminating the "lead-free" pottery with lead residues that remain in the kiln from past usage. Because the lead may not fuse into the non-lead glaze, it may contaminate food when the pottery is used with food." All items are carefully packaged to ensure that they arrive safely in the same description as described and shown in photos. I use only high quality recycled or new packing materials and boxes. Fragile and delicate items are bubble wrapped, padded, and(if needed) stabilized in a double box to prevent shifting. All items are photographed right before packing and enclosing before being shipped to record this process. All items I offer are backed with a 100% return policy. Please continue to visit my "old-new" store as I will be adding on an almost daily basis. I do my best to describe the condition of the piece as accurately as I can and to highlight any flaws or defects. Please refer to the photos for the most accurate representation of the item as what you see is what you will receive. For your security and ours, the packing and shipping processes are video recorded. If you have any questions, please ask.
