This design is associated with vintage Brother Juniper ceramic merchandise produced by or for The Shafford Company, although the Shafford name is not visible on the bottom marking.
The mug measures approximately 5 inches tall and has a large handle. It displays nicely, with the artwork and lettering remaining readily visible.
Please note the condition carefully: There are two chips—one on the upper drinking rim and another on the bottom edge/foot, as shown clearly in the photographs. Because one chip is on the drinking rim, the mug is best suited for display or collection rather than regular beverage use.
Please review all photographs closely for the exact condition and appearance. The two chips are reflected in the price.
