I love it on I see Bleatles bugs....and I dislike it when instead I see roaches!!!!!! I though it is unique......or not!
It measures 5.1/4"H x 4.1/4"W at the base x 6" spout to handle.
There is no mark or signature.
The brownish green glaze around the opening goes all the way to the end of the handle.
I should know who made this. I recognize both the decorating style and the look of the base but I'm drawing a blank. It's USA made. CHatham, Chadwick, something like that?
Chatham Stoneware. There's a couple of mugs on eBay w/ the same pattern that are marked.

"Blossom" pattern. Chatham Potters, founded by Frank & Margie Goss in 1942; originally "Goss Pottery" made in Chatham, NJ, then relocated to Oswego, Kansas in 1976, I think. By that time, the company had been purchased by the plant manager. There is another pottery company that is named Chatham Pottery, but not the same.
I had included some of the history on Chatham Pottery I sold at Etsy some years ago. It's here:
