ITS APPROX 5" HIGH AND 4" MEASURED ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE CUP
LOOKING INSIDE THE CUP AT THE LITTLE GOBLIN GUY IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE SOME LETTERING ON THE INSIDE OF HIS RIGHT LEG--NOT REALLY SURE.

Hi 3emarketeers,

Found your mug !!! It was made in 1971 by "The Rumph" one his first commercial creations. Called "The CROSS-EYED TANKARD" Here is the link if it works. You should be able to GOOGLE it with the info I gave you if the link doesn't work. Just started looking at the style of work and was sure it was one of his art pieces.

No idea on value but someone at the website might help out.

Thanks Cliff. I was able to go to that site and found this exact mug.
It's not that old, and from California. Wonder how it got to southern Ga wrapped in a sheet in the middle of the woods. Very Interesting.
Thanks again

Very good searching job there! I found two of them on ebay. Not worth very much, there is a Buy Now for 20 bucks. But I guess that's not bad for something you just found. Thanks so much!
