This exceptional early patriotic Liverpool creamware tankard showcases one of the finest patriotic transfers designed for the American market. It features two federal eagles and cannons, accompanied by the slogan "Peace, Plenty and Independence." This slogan reflects the aspirations of the young United States in the post-Revolutionary War era, emphasizing the nation's desire for peace, economic prosperity, and the ability to govern itself independently. Notably, the tankard has a period make-do handle repair, likely performed 200 years ago. This repair highlights the tankard's significance, demonstrating an era when items were cherished, repaired, and used across generations rather than discarded. A true time capsule from the past!
