Blue Speckled Stoneware Mug by Goss Vermont for Mt Vernon, Pineapple Hospitality

This double-handled blue speckled stoneware mug was made by Goss Studio in Vermont, most likely as a private-label order for Mount Vernon. The glaze, handles, and clay body match Goss's signed “Crafted in Vermont” pieces, but this one carries a printed “Mt Vernon” backstamp instead of the incised maker’s mark. The pineapple medallion motif—long a colonial symbol of hospitality—ties in neatly with the Mount Vernon connection. Nicely thrown with visible speckling and an unglazed foot.
