The prints apparently not recorded exactly, with the ‘Dog’s Argument’ being closest to one on the Transferware Collector’s Club website – ‘maker unknown’. The other 4 prints on this mug may be linked, and if the border, or shape of the mug can be isolated to a single maker, a group of attributions may be possible.
