For your consideration is an incredibly rare, hard-to-find set of two (2) vintage Taylor & Ng stoneware mugs from their highly elusive circa 1980 "Language of Flowers" collection.While Taylor & Ng animal mugs are highly collectible, this specific botanical series is exceptionally scarce and rarely appears on the secondary market—a true "holy grail" find for a dedicated collector!
This set includes:* "Admiration" Mug: Features vibrant blue and yellow carnations with a matching green glazed accent ring around the base.* "Thoughts of You" Mug: Features beautiful pansies (traditionally symbolizing remembrance and loving thoughts).Design & Authenticity Features:* Classic Taylor & Ng Silhouette: Crafted from heavy, chunky, cream-and-brown speckled stoneware featuring the iconic, blocky geometric square handle.* Signature Typography: Features the distinctive, whimsical, lowercase handwritten font unique to Taylor & Ng's thematic collections of this era.* Authenticity Note: Consistent with select Taylor & Ng production runs from the late 70s/early 80s, these mugs do not feature a bottom ink stamp. They originally shipped with foil paper labels that have peeled off over the decades. The distinctive weight, speckled glaze texture, block handles, and artwork style absolutely verify their authenticity.
* Origin: Made in Japan (San Francisco design).
