A great bucket mug from the Hana Hou Room & really nice green glazed Trader Dick's style mug. It is engraved with what appears to be L&C 79 on the bottom & is a bit smaller than the Trader Dick's mug. Any thoughts? Homemade?

My guess would be well-made home-made on the green guy. The flat bottom and smaller size are the clues. If a mold was made of an existing "peanut" mug, the product of that mold will be smaller than the original due to the shrinkage of the slip clay as it dries. Really nice glaze, though. That's a keeper!
