Vintage '94 Handwork Mug Holland Red Delft Stein Martinique Brasserie Lorraine

This is a beautiful, vintage RED Delft pottery Stein or Mug, Handcrafted/Painted for the Brasserie Lorraine, (which is a microbrewery in Martinique). *Red delft is more difficult to produce than blue delft - and as a result, more expensive. Made in Holland. A unique and rare piece of delft! Dated April 1994. Noted "MBAA" which stands for 'Master Brewer's Association of the Americas' (?) - Martinique is a constituent of the French Republic - so perhaps something to do with the - affiliations in the microbrewery? Holds 2 full cups (16 oz) of liquid (beer) - or your choice! It has minor shelf wear, and minor crazing only on the bottom of the mug, (to be expected for the age,) - but has no interior scratches, chips or other flaws - - and no disruptions or wear in the painted glaze. Would make a beautiful addition to someone who is searching for eclectic pieces to accent their 'home tavern'; Especially precious for someone who has affiliations or has visited this part of the world. This is a treasure that can be used - BUT: * Hand wash only and no microwave! (who would microwave beer?) LOL
