Blue Transfer Printed hotsell Child's Mug, Love Between Brothers & Sisters, English, Early 19th Century
Blue transfer printed pearlware child's mug decorated with verses by the English hymnodist Isaac Watts hotsell. The text reads "Love Between / Brothers & Sisters / Birds in their little nests agree / And 'tis a shameful sight / When children of one family / Fall out and chide and fight." The design of the applied handle with its foliate ends suggests an early 19th century date.
