DescriptionWorcester mug, one of a pair, cylindrical, with ribbed and grooved handle and recessed foot. It is lilac transfer-printed decoration by Robert Hancock of "Queen Charlotte", "Venus and Cupid", and "Minerva". The portrait of the Queen appears to be derived from a mezzotint by McArdell published in 1762 and an engraving of the Queen by Francois Aliamet published in Smollett's 'Continuation of the Complete History of England of 1761'. Venus and Cupid derive from an engraving by J.S. Muller of a stature personifying the city of Rom in 'Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera', published in 1749.
