Help Identifying an old, unique Mug

[nomade7]

Hey ya'll

I'm new in the picking world and I've come across a pretty interesting mug,
that I'd like to get some help with identifying.

It's hand-made, and the signature says something like "B Wadslay" or "Badslay" or "Badsly"..
Really can't tell .

This is how it looks like:












Is anyone of you familiar with this type of a mug?
What type of sorcery is this?


Thx ahead!

Any idea what does the signature say? I cant read it for the world

Looks like it is supposed to be a hillbilly. Around here at craft fairs a lot of artist make and sell pottery with folk art images or silly faces. Can't help you with the name though. Nice mug.

toby mugs are mugs with faces upon them --normally English made -- its a modern type of one American made.

For Sienfeld fans the signature looks like Vandalay.

There is 1 person in the U.S. with the last name of Vaddy. Zoilo Vaddy from Florida I believe.

I agree with what Boots said, it is a modern (80's and up) folk art styled, studio stoneware face mug. I have a similar one or two. It's a kitschy type of thing. studio face mug | eBay
