Cobalt highlights and juncture of cup and handle terminals. Possibly made for a marriage, and featuring two iconic Western PA motifs (vining and stripes), this form is the first example we have seen in American stoneware. One handle restored. Otherwise excellent condition. H 2 3/8" ; L (across both cups) 6 7/8".
