A pair of JOHN MADDOCK of Burslem Bone China "Tankard " style mugs or coffee cans. Standing approx 6 inches or 15 cm high. Variant "FAIRY VILLA" patterns in blue and white flow transfer. Both with underglaze decoration and manufacturers stamps on their bases. I believe the company was producing wears with this logo betweeen the founding in 1842 and 1855 when another letter was added to accomodate a partner "Seddon" This pair has only the letter "M" in the pattern design mark to the left of the scroll work. A Lovely variance on the usual blue and white "willow pattern" designs you normally see. The pattern varies on the two mugs. They are the same shade of blue, but the figures and houses (villas) in the patterns are different and there is a figure standing on one looking slightly Chinese with a strange floppy hat/headware and a more fairy-like figure seated on a hillock, on the other. Nice and unusual! CONDITION: No cracks, none inside or out. Top of one mug has some chipping to rim, one definately has a tiny chip at the rim edge and a slightly rough feel at the same spot, looks like a firing issue more than any actual damage. Small spot on handle of the same mug, where the glaze has been worn or knocked, about quarter of an inch, leaves a small brown mark. NO repairs to handles. Light and delicate. Little stepped ridge around
