Summary edit

Description
English: Mug

1680-1690
Made in London

Glass with mould-blown ribbed base and white glass trailing
Small globular mugs with ribbed necks of this form were made in the last quarter of the 17th century exclusively for drinking strong ale. The V&A collections include a similar example, datable to about 1676-7 and marked with the raven's head seal of the English glassmaker George Ravenscroft (1632-1681).

The form of this small ale mug was not so much designed as inherited from its larger imported German brown stoneware predecessors. Just as drinking glasses had lost most of their Venetian influence by 1700, so these little German-derived globular mugs disappeared at the same time, to be replaced by the typically English 'dwarf ale', a small trumpet-shaped glass which, apart from its distinctive short stem, could be confused with a jelly glass.

Collection ID: C.168-1993
