Description: | The Southwick Pottery at Sunderland, owned by the Scott family, was one of the most successful in the area. This mug is decorated with pink lustre and black transfer prints, and inside it is a model of a frog. 'Frog mugs' were also known as ague mugs. Many were made in the days when ague was common. It was believed that a sudden shock was helpful to the patient, and so the surprise appearance of a frog in the patient's drink would provide a cure. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East art made in the North East makers children ceramics men date period industry women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
