Here we have a very nice vintage Adams Pottery, Old English Staffordshire Ware Cup & Saucer Set, My Old Kentucky Home Pattern, featuring Stephen Collins Foster, the pre-eminent songwriter in the USA of the 19th century. My Old Kentucky Home is the official song of the state of Kentucky. The brown transfer-ware cup & saucer are also decorated with a floral pattern around the rim. The bottom of the cup reads "ADAMS Est 1057 ENGLAND". The bottom of the saucer reads "Old English Staffordshire Ware Imported Exclusively for My Old Kentucky Home Barnstown, Kentucky," which is a rare misprint as the side of the cup properly states, "My Old Kentucky Home Bardstown, Kentucky." The cup measures approx. 3" in diameter at rim and 2" tall. The set is in Very Good condition, with no chips or cracks, but significant crazing. A wonderful example of a very collectible item.
