Maker’s mark: I.A in a script monogram possibly for John Austin (see David Mitchell, “Silversmiths in Elizabeth and Stuart London, pages 341-2, which records a number of tankards and mugs including two chinoiserie items).

Of tapering cylindrical form with applied reeded bands around the base and just below the rim, “S” shaped reeded strap handle, chased with chinoiserie figures surrounded by exotic foliage and hillocks, engraved with a coat of arms, the underside of the base engraved with date and initials "1695 AH over AH", also stamped "W.T. Andrew".

The Arms are those of Hayne of Fryer Wadon, Dorset. These arms were originally granted on 4th September 1607 to Thomas Hayne by Sir William Segar, Garter. The Hayne family was large and so far it has been impossible to identify to which member of the family this mug belonged. The A.H over A.H initials on the base are presumably members of the same Hayne family or even the original owner whom may have married 6 years after its manufacture. No connection has been made between the Hayne lineage and "W. Andrew".
