| This is a cute mottoware, motto ware or Devon ware teacup and saucer from Watcombe Devon Ware England with a British registry date of 1916-1917. The cup and saucer set is a traditional cottage design with the motto Early Sow Early Mow. The cup measures 2.25 inches high and is 2.5 inches in diameter the saucer is 5 inches in diameter. It is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. There is a bit of crazing consistent with age. A wonderful set. This famous and fun pottery has been manufactured in the south of England from the 1870's until the factories closed in the 1960's. It is usually of red clay decorated with bright glazes, cottages and mottos or sayings that run the gamut from proverbs and sound advice to nearly outrageous. Always fun and different and very collectible! | ||||||||
