A hand-thrown stoneware mug from Walnut Hill Stoneware Co., the working pottery shop at Living History Farms in Des Moines, Iowa. It's marked by resident potter R.P. Leckband and dated 1983.

The front is impressed "WALNUT HILL STONEWARE CO." I found "R.P. LECKBAND" and the date "1983" stamped into the base.

Construction/glaze: The body is tapered and waisted, flaring out at the rim, with a pulled strap handle. It's salt-glazed in a speckled brown/tan finish, topped with a glossy yellow-green glaze poured over the rim that drips down from the top.

I measured it at 3.5" tall, 3.5" at the base, holding 9 fl oz (measured).

Excellent condition, no damage.
