We love collecting hand thrown ugly face jugs/mugs pottery. I picked this stein up at a swap meet in Yuma AZ for a meer $8.00. It has a gold tag that reads: Hand Crafted 1980 Mahon Made Stoneware and the bottom is signed. I can't seem to locate any history on Mahon. Any and all replies will be appreciated.
