Ringtons Historical Ceramic Mug – Thomas Beauchamp Earl of Warwick

There’s something evocative about a vintage British historical ceramic mug like this, especially one that tells a story. Produced by Ringtons Ltd of Newcastle, this collectible mug features Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick (1345–1401), illustrated in rich medieval style with accompanying historical text on the reverse. It forms part of Ringtons’ well-known British history series, created to celebrate notable figures from the past.

Finished with a traditional cream crackle glaze, the mug displays beautifully and has developed a gentle aged patina over time. As is typical of vintage Ringtons ceramics, there is visible crazing beneath the glaze across the surface, along with a mark inside the cup. These age-related features are shown clearly in the photographs and have been fully reflected in the price.

A characterful and educational piece of British historical memorabilia, ideal for collectors of Ringtons ceramics, medieval history, or display-led vintage mugs.
