Heritage Mug, Fennel Frond easter

Heritage Mug, Fennel Frond easterThe Heritage Mug is an iconic symbol of Rookwood's legacy and history. The RP stamp displayed on the front of this piece dates back to 1886, where the stamp originated as just the reverse R and P. From that time on, a flame was added each year up to 1900 when the RP with 14 flames became the enduring symbol of the company. The mold for the 1948 Wiedemann Brewery mug was discovered in the archives and adapted to create the Heritage Mug we offer todaya
