For your consideration is an incredibly rare, hard-to-find set of two (2) vintage Taylor & Ng stoneware mugs from their highly elusive circa 1980 \"Language of Flowers\" collection.While Taylor & Ng animal mugs are highly collectible, this specific botanical series is exceptionally scarce and rarely appears on the secondary market—a true \"holy grail\" find for a dedicated collector!
This set includes:* \"Admiration\" Mug: Features vibrant blue and yellow carnations with a matching green glazed accent ring around the base.* \"Thoughts of You\" Mug: Features beautiful pansies (traditionally symbolizing remembrance and loving thoughts).Design & Authenticity Features:* Classic Taylor & Ng Silhouette: Crafted from heavy, chunky, cream-and-brown speckled stoneware featuring the iconic, blocky geometric square handle.* Signature Typography: Features the distinctive, whimsical, lowercase handwritten font unique to Taylor & Ng\'s thematic collections of this era.* Authenticity Note: Consistent with select Taylor & Ng production runs from the late 70s/early 80s, these mugs do not feature a bottom ink stamp.

The distinctive weight, speckled glaze texture, block handles, and artwork style absolutely verify their authenticity.
