This small earthenware mug was presented to a child in 1912 to celebrate the Jubilee of the Wallsend Industrial Co-operative Society (1862-1912). The mug is decorated with transfer-printed pansies and symbols associated with the Co-operative and trade union movement. The 2 hands shaking represent unity and the beehive symbolises industry and hard work. The Co-operative symbol of a wheat sheaf, spade and sickle is printed on the bottom of the mug.
