Many of my regular readers will know my passion for the wares produced by our local Worcester Porcelain factory. The mug illustrated above is a loving cup that was made at the back end of the last century by the Grainger Company here in Worcester. Interestingly, the unusual decoration was done outside the factory. This means simply that the mug would have left the factory as a plain white piece and was either painted by an enthusiastic amateur or a factory painter but as an outside piece rather than an authentic example of the works of George Grainger. Value? Well not a fortune - this little piece will sell for between £30-50, and would perhaps be a start to a new area of collecting for some of you out there.
