Vintage Pottery Beer Mug Humorous Pub Crawl Lord Nelson 1-74 Made in England
Mid-
Century
Modern
Lord Nelson Pottery was once upon a time one of the most popular producers of pottery ware in England.  They operated from 1885 - 1981.
This piece depicts a "happy fellow" out on a pub crawl leaning against a lamp post and a humorous poem -
" 'Tho pleasures and pubs we may roam, there'll come a reckoning when we get home."  The reverse side of the mug depicts this fellow making his way home down an alley, and his wife in the doorway on the lookout for him, rolling pin in hand.
The mug is is a "treacle brown" color, with silver gilt top rim and handle.  It measures 5 in. tall and is 4 1/4 in. at the base, and 3 1/4 in. at the top.  The bottom of the mug has the Lord Nelson Pottery mark, and 1-71.  From research, it is widely believed this depict the month and year this piece was produced.  So this is a 47 year old pottery mug, in very excellent condition.
