Nicely potted earthenware mug for Marston Moor civil war anniversary.
1994 BW mark I think.

Peter Dick and Coxwold pottery come to mind. Souvenir things like this are often sourced locally, and Coxwold was a Yorkshire pottery.  Moreover, it has a Wincchcombe look to it, and Peter Dick worked at both Abuja and Winchcombe. They also did a lot of Earthenware and slip decoaration  items at Coxwold. It would have needed a skilled production potter to produce these in quantity.

Thank you. Can’t find similar online. Different mark to usual Peter Dich though. The 191 on base suggests there must have been at least 200 of them out there at one time!

Please post a close up of the mark. I tried cropping it but the second letter isn’t clear

Close up of mark. I did check book. I’m sure Philpot is right saying it would need a production type potter to do a big batch of these for a fair or re-enactment.

Studio Potters can make large numbers of pots a day when they have to. Sid Tustin is reported to have made over a million in his lifetime.
Anyway, not a BW mark as first thought. I’ve come across that second mark before but not finding it atm
