Tabletops Gallery York Pattern Ceramic Mug

This is a hand-painted and hand-crafted ceramic mug from the 'York' collection by Tabletops Gallery. The item features a distinctive soft square/rounded rectangular base footprint, tapering up into a glossy dark-glazed body. The underside is recessed and finished with a tan matte glaze, featuring a comprehensive black backstamp. The stamp includes the 'Tabletops Gallery' logo with an architectural gazebo illustration, followed by 'YORK™', 'HAND PAINTED & HAND CRAFTED', care instructions (Dishwasher and Microwave safe), and the origin label 'MADE IN CHINA'. The body appears to be a heavy stoneware or thick ceramic, finished with a smooth, high-shine glaze. Regarding condition, there is a visible chip on the outer edge of the unglazed foot rim, exposing the white ceramic body underneath. Some light surface wear and minor discoloration are present on the base's recessed surface consistent with regular domestic use. This contemporary housewares piece exemplifies modern mass-market craftsmanship designed to mimic bespoke artisanal pottery through its 'hand-crafted' marketing and slightly irregular form.
