Vintage Childs Mug Fairies Titania Queen Fondeville Ambassador Ware England 3"

Description

How sweet is this?
Vintage child's mug or cup with a pastel pink, blue and yellow border around top rim, and aflutter with fairies inside and out. Inside, at the bottom of the mug, we have: The BlueBell Fairy went flying by, Chased by a bright winged butterfly. One one side of the mug's exterior, we have : Queen of the Fairies, Titania Rose, Scolding two elves, who look at their toes. And on the other side, Oh, Please Mr. Spider, do let me go, I'm Fairy Forget-Me-Not, You know.
The mark on the bottom indicates this was made by Englands Soho Pottery Ltd. or its successor as part of their Ambassador Ware line, and imported to the US by A. J. Fondeville, of New York City. My best guess is 1920s or 1930s era, but it is not dated, and could be as late as the 40s or 50s. The illustrations certainly look like the fairies in childrens books of the 1920s and 30s.. Measures about 3" tall and 3" in diameter.
Condition: Very nice condition, with light overall crazing, I see no chips, cracks or other issues.
