Anyone here familiar wtih Arts and Crafts pottery? I just acquired this coffee mug I admired last year in an antique shop. Looks to me, and owner agreed, it could be as old as from ca. 1910. Or in that Mission/Craftsman style but from any time since, of course. Any comments on its style/age? Marked on the bottom is a fraction: 254/1. What could that mark mean on the bottom of a mug. No other markings indicating marker. I think it's very attractive and fairly masculine, as well. It's hand painted.
