Signed by the artist L. Richey and estimated to the 1980s, this heavy stoneware beer mug is hand-painted with two grand old sailing ships — a schooner on the front, a barque on the reverse. A mug that earns a permanent place on the shelf.

The rust-colored accents and handle complement the warm, earthy glaze, and the painting is as crisp as the day it was made — both ships rendered in careful, confident detail.
It's a distinguished Father's Day gift, a nautical bar accent, or a find for anyone who loves tall ships, the sea, or signed folk art pottery.
Hand-signed and hand-painted folk art pottery like this rarely comes with a documented maker, but the confident linework and balanced composition on both sides point to real skill — a genuine one-of-a-kind piece rather than mass-produced souvenir ware.
