Thelwell 'Merrylegs' Mug in Box

High aspirations for an Olympic Gold with a favorite pony are brought back to earth in this Thelwell cartoon on this mug. The riding instructor prefers the name 'Merrylegs' to 'Olympic Gold'!

The 10-ounce earthenware mug is made in Liverpool(UK) near Thelwell's birthplace of Birkenhead.

Norman Thelwell is regarded as the unofficial artist of the British countryside. He commented on many aspects of human behavior but he's perhaps most synonymous with little girls and their little fat ponies.

The mug comes in a protective polystyrene box with an attractive, full-color slip case. A great gift idea for anyone that loves ponies.

Size: 10 ounces
