1920 Rouse Parian Mug with FG. 2.5" x 2.5". Trenton, NJ: Rouse Pottery. Unknown source.
I was surprised to find an identical mug in the Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Rouse Parian" is stamped on the bottom. As often with the motif of "Fox and Grapes," the fable's emphasis that the fox cannot get the grapes is missed as the two are brought together in image. - Date
