Bear on Bike Enamelware Child's Chamber Pot Potty Chair Mug
This vintage enamelware or graniteware cup or mug has a children's theme graphic of a teddy bear riding a bicycle or scooter. It holds 18 ounces, which seems quite big for a child's drinking cup. I think it's more likely a chamber pot or potty chair mug, even though it's not the typical shape. It measures 3-5/8" high by 3-3/4" diameter. The underside is marked with a running deer logo and Oriental characters. I've seen this mark before on 1950s and 1960s Hong Kong imported enamelware.
There are three enamel chips at the bottom of the mug. One is visible just below the front bike tire, the other two (one of which is very tiny, a fleabite) are on the underside and not visible unless the mug is turned over. No other wear or damage.
Circa: 1950s - 1960s
Country of Origin: HK
