    We picked this stoneware item up. Three handles shaped like dogs with holes in the bottom of each handle. Three scenes. Hallmarks include Sheffield and silver. (Haven’t tried figuring the rest out yet.) No makers mark on bottom.

    Measures 6” tall, 5-1/2” diameter plus handles are 1-1/2” deep (so add 3” to diameter) and 4-1/4” high.

    What is it and who might have made it (Doulton perhaps?).

    As always, THANKS for your assistance!

    It's a tyg. A sprigged stoneware one, to be precise, with a hunting scene, sometimes known as fullery wares.

    Not Doulton Lambeth, those are invariably marked as such. And, if it were marked as Doulton, it would NOTbe Royal Doulton, the hallmark is too early. (If that makes sense.) The base clay and that glaze banding are wrong, too. See how blurred it is by comparison with that "real" one?

    1870 I think, although it's horribly rubbed, but that's the only one fitting a duty mark.

    Other makers did these wares in the late 19th.

    Remarks on Doulton: it isn't strictly correct to call it Royal Doulton Lambeth Ware. The Lambeth and Burslem factories were quite separate, for one thing. Doulton Lambeth Ware is alright, though. ;)

    Thanks @Ownedbybear

    Not being a pottie, I was happy to find similar. I wouldn't know how it was supposed to be marked or any of the other features you point out :)

    Like to see a gen-yoo-wine tyg.

    So did the pottery create the silver band as well?

    @Ownedbybear , am I understanding that it IS a tyg, but NOT Doulton and NOT Lambeth?

    Yes - a fullery ware stoneware sprigged tyg with hunting scenes, 1870 with duty mark, spot on. Bit of a tongue twister! ;) If I think enough, I'll dredge out some other possible makers. Bourne did them, for example, but this isn't one of theirs.

    No, the potteries didn't make the silver bands, those were done by silversmiths, often Birmingham assayed but sometimes Sheffield or other assay offices. Don't forget that although a bit of silver might be assayed in a certain town, the silversmith might be based elsewhere, too. We did the same thing with glass, which is why you find Bohemian glass with British silver hallmarked embellishments.

    I've a bit of a thing for Doulton Lambeth.

    It's the history of London, we are built on it. Our sewer pipes are made by Doulton Lambeth, as are Tube rail insulators, the tiles that line our tunnels, and the facades of public buildings. Our medicine pots, marmalade jars, beer bottles, water purifiers, the everyday heart and soul of my city. Still used, over a century on.

    All London clay, that stuff the Romans potted and before them, the Beaker folk, with Thames water and London hands. Most of those streams now are hidden under our streets, but if you listen carefully above a Victorian cast iron manhole, you hear them sing.

    The bases of Doulton Lambeth pots have the century old hand scribed initials of the decorators and if you're really lucky, a fingerprint. Wonderful things.

    I covet a Doulton Pushkin cat. I also covet a set of miniature Doulton Lambeth plumbing parts in a case: I know someone who found a set at a car boot sale and I will hunt.

    I'd also quite like a piece of Hannah Barlow for Doulton or anything by the Martin brothers, but hey.

    So @Ownedbybear , would the holes in the handles act to attach the tyg to the drinkers in some fashion?

    I don't know squat about pottery, but whoever designed this mug is my hero. You will notice that the three handles are at perfect angles for two handed drinking. No matter which two you grab the mug is ready for serious drinking.

    I need one of these...perhaps two. One for me and one for a drinking buddy. I take back everything I ever said about the Brits. Up the English!!

    Being a “Leftie”, myself, I appreciate the handles, too! They are ambidextrous! :hilarious:

    These were originally designed so you could hand them round a group of drinkers.

    The holes are just nice modelling of the dog's tails.

    Here is a wonderful site for hunting jugs which also has other things on it; you just have to click around. The sprigs are interesting to me. Yours are a lot like Stiff, but I see the same one may have been used by different companies.

    That's a good site. Not quite sure why they refer to hunting jugs as Tobys, but hey!

    I've always loved this type of sprigged stoneware. Here is a possible name, from Hildyard's Browne Muggs book, to research as a maker, Denby. The dog looks similar but I don't know the maker of your tyg.
