I bought this from the person who bought it from Jim Rumph at a Ren. Fair in the 1960's. It is grainy and not very artistic as his more recent things were. It is scratched script Rumph on the bottom.
I recently was emailed a pic. of another homemade mug, also bought at a 1960's Ren. Fair, also grainy and not very artistic, and also scratched Rumph on the bottom. It looks very much like mine but not at all the same theme. Looks to me like he vastly improved in a very few years. I think these 2 would have to be some of his very first attempts.
