These have probably "been to the wheel" sometime during their career, and it pains me to see Mr. Stone's work treated in such a manner. We must asume that our readers will agree, or else they'd be looking at Replacements, not here. That said, this is a rare form from his workshop, and also emin...
A similar example, held by the Art Institute of Chicago, is shown in Chickering, plate 52; page 111.

Those with long memories will recognize this as the same mug which sold at Charlton Hall, June 14 2009, (lot 730) for 1725.00. Please take a moment to look at those catalogue photos (see fifth enlargement), and you will notice a few dents and some surface abrasion presumably due to improper cleaning with steel wool. We ...

We love that this was a Christmas gift from one woman to her friend, and also that the item is dated (presumbably from year of manufacture) 1870. If you're thinking that it might be nice to have a collection of napkin rings, this would be a great place to start!
