Product Details

Fantastic antique stoneware tavern mug / beer stein featuring the humorous Bulldog motto: “No one Bulldog yet could eat, Every other Bulldogs meat, If you have a good sized bone, Let the other dog alone.” This wonderfully quirky antique drinking vessel has a classic cylindrical tavern form, thick rounded handle, creamy ivory glaze, dark printed lettering, and a beautifully aged surface with extensive crazing and warm patina. A great piece for collectors of antique tavern ware, American stoneware, motto mugs, beer steins, Bulldog memorabilia, saloon decor, breweriana, primitive pottery, folk humor, and historic barware. The unusual dog-themed verse gives this mug strong conversation-piece appeal and makes it especially fun for a home bar, brewery, pub, man cave, primitive kitchen, antique cupboard, or crock collection. Style it alongside old whiskey jugs, advertising crocks, salt glaze stoneware, beer bottles, antique pitchers, and other Americana, folk art, country primitive, tavern, or brewery decor. It would also make a fun display piece for a Bulldog collector or dog lover. Condition is consistent with age and includes visible overall crazing, glaze wear, staining, discoloration, surface marks, rim wear, firing irregularities, and other antique character. These imperfections add to its wonderfully aged primitive appearance. Please review photos carefully for exact condition of the rim, handle, body, and base.
