Description: VERY RARE Antique Taylor Smith & Taylor (TST) Set Art China Mug, Tankard, Stein Red Monk Pitcher with 6 Steins. Made in USA.Antique TST / Taylor Smith & Taylor / Monk Mug Tankard / Stein / 1915 - this is a very sturdy and heavy beer stein. This is from the 1915 Chester Line Tankand and Stein Mug featuring a monk - the originals to make and brew beer. This is for the Chester stein featuring a monk in a dark red color. Pitcher is approx.14" tall x 6" wide at base; mugs are 5" tall x 3 3/4" wide at base. Like most potteries in the early 1900s, the Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company produced decorated specialties and art ware. It was during this time pieces were picked up from standard dinnerware shapes (namely Normandie and Latona) and given art ware treatments. Most of the decorations used involved blended tints of various shades with decals of fruits, figures, or flowers. Earlier pieces were decorated with gold trim or gold stipple, whereas later pieces relied more on the blended tints. TS&T art ware was marked with either the general griffin backstamp or the special TST star marking. The art ware was discontinued by the early 1920s. Condition: Antique. Preowned. Very good condition. No stains or cracks. Has some small paint chipping around the mug from use and age and a couple rim fleabites that are hard to tell if they are factory or from use. There is some surface crazing on inside bottom. Few mugs have small flakes around bottom as shown in last photo. Painting of monk is still very bright with very little wear. The Interior is clean for age. There may be few factory-made flaws along the top rim, common with antique ware. All noted for accuracy. Great overall condition for this antique and rare set. See photos for more details and close ups.
