Rare Titian Studios Football Mug

On page 149 of Gail Henrys "New Zealand Pottery" she writes of this rare piece. She describes this as a truly indigenous piece which was designed and modelled by Cam Brown in 1956. It was made to commemorate the victory by Waikato over the Springboks and has a sock decorated on one side with Waikato colours and on the other with the Springbok colours. Don Clarke was instrumental in winning the match and his boot size "9" is impressed on the sole. It reads "Waikato 14 Springboks 10, June 9th 1956' handwritten in the glaze.

We are very lucky to have had Manos secure this piece.
