Coffee Cup - LORD NELSON WARE STAFFORDSHIRE ENGLAND

LORD NELSON WARE STAFFORDSHIRE ENGLAND:- any ideas as to how old this is? It is a cream drinking mug with a glamour girl on the front with her hands behind her head, legs in the air, pink skirt and a 1940's hairstyle with her red shoes kicked off.

Any help will be brilliant

Thanks gratefully!

Gary

Lord Nelson Ware - Novelty Mug
by: Blake

Dear Gary, According to the "Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks" by Geoffrey A. Godden, the mark on you mug was first used in 1956. The mark is listed under Elijah Cotton (LTD.) Mark #1119 with a picture of the mark followed by "Printed mark, 1956- .". The Godden book is regarded as THE authority on marks but was published in 1964 so I do not have any information on when or if the mark was changed or is still in use.
This site, however, provides some information of value: http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/320.htm
Much of the Lord Nelson Ware is decorated in Chintz type floral patterns and there seems to be very little information available about novelty mugs such as yours. I would think that mugs such as these with Vargas style pin-up subjects would be extremely collectible but after several Google searches I was able to find only one referrence to a mug such as yours. The description has quite a bit of information but I cannot find the price this mug brought at auction. (I asked a friend who has a subscription to this site to check the price but it will not display the page for him.).

I hope this has provided some help.

Lord Nelson Ware- Beer Mug?
by: Gordon

Hi Gary! I came across your enquiry and Blake's comments while I too was researching a very similar mug which I bought today from a local charity shop. I thought it a handsome piece and wanted to learn more about it. I have nothing to add to what Blake has written but if either of you come across anything new I should be pleased to hear of it.
My mug has a coaching scene with a coach and four outside "Ye Olde Fox Inn" and the picture of a little fox on the reverse.
Bytheway,for many years in the fifties I worked in the London Buying Office of Eatons of Canada. Maybe I shipped your mug to Canada.
Regards to you both. Gordon.
