Warning! Resonant 19th Century English Transfer Decorated Child's Mug vintage Navajo with wood backingDifferent 19th century child's mugs for different reasons though made for children, these always feel quite loaded in one way or another, and here the all caps urgent "WARNING" feels very timely indeed.

Very very good antique condition, no chips, cracks or other issues, just a few imperfections
