Description: | There are 2 types of stamped marks on the base of this mug. These are the maker's mark and the 'town mark'. At this time Newcastle's town mark took the form of a single castle, probably taken from the borough's Coat of Arms. Here the head of a goat has been used in place of the castle. When this piece was made, the words 'gate' and 'goat' were the same and so the goat motif became associated with Gateshead. Augustin Floate had a shop on the Gateshead side of the Old Tyne Bridge. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East makers metalwork craft art designers made in the North East makers date period | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
