1976 Davy Crockett Ceramic Mug
$31.00
1976 Davie Crockett Ceramic Mug. Measures about 5" in height by 5.5" wide. Excellent condition.
Celebrate American frontier folklore with this striking 1976 Davy Crockett ceramic mug. This piece is a masterful example of mid-seventies character pottery, leaning into the rugged, adventurous spirit of the Bicentennial era. The mug is sculpted with impressive detail, from the individual hairs of the iconic coonskin cap to the weathered, lifelike features of the "King of the Wild Frontier." The clever integration of a powder horn as the handle adds a unique thematic touch that elevates it from a standard vessel to a true sculptural object.
The color palette is dominated by rich umbers and tans, finished with a subtle glaze that highlights the deep recessed lines of the mold. Unlike many high-gloss novelty mugs of the period, this example has a more naturalistic, hand-hewn quality that fits perfectly within a rustic lodge or Southwestern-themed decor. It serves as a fantastic piece of Americana ephemera, ideal for display in a wood-paneled study or as a conversation-starting addition to a vintage barware collection. Its excellent condition ensures that the fine details of the face and the delicate coonskin tail remain sharp and intact, preserving a slice of 1970s outdoor-adventure nostalgia for the modern collector.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old.
