Warning! Resonant 19th Century English Transfer Decorated Child's Mug vintage Navajo I never paid much attentionDifferent 19th century child's mugs for different reasons though made for children, these always feel quite loaded in one way or another, and here the all caps urgent "WARNING" feels very timely indeed. Also a reminder that, as much as we might like to imagine otherwise, most childhoods were never carefree. 2 11 16" d x 2 3 4" t. 3 1 2" across at handle. Very very good antique condition, no chips, cracks or other issues, just a few imperfections
