Royal Art Pottery Mistress Mary cup
made in England, 1940s
A delightful children’s cup, featuring ‘Mistress Mary’ of the nursery rhyme:
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silverbells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row.
Here Mistress Mary [a la 1940s- as evidenced by her haircut] is seen with a rake and watering can, near the Silverbells. The cup has the royal crown logo and “Royal Art Pottery, England” on the base.
Perhaps you know a contrary Mary? This is the cup for them!
The cup is in great vintage condition & is for sale; $AU20
