1940s Paul Webb hand-painted "Target Practice" novelty pottery beer tankard

A vintage pottery beer tankard featuring Paul Webb's popular "Target Practice" design, dated 1947 to the base. Hand-painted in bright colours, the tankard depicts a humorous scene with a rifle-wielding baby taking aim along with a startled woman and fluttering laundry. The tankard is finished with a textured faux-wood handle and matching bark-effect rim and base, creating the appearance of a carved wooden mug. The raised hand-painted decoration and comic storytelling style are characteristic of Paul Webb's sought-after mid-century designs.
