This vintage white ceramic pedestal mug was made by Mosa in Maastricht, Holland and features the blue Van der Valk heraldic crest across the front.
The mug has a straight-sided body set on a raised pedestal foot, with a simple loop handle and a thin cobalt blue line extending around the body. The underside carries the Mosa Maastricht Holland maker’s mark, confirming its Dutch manufacture.
Van der Valk is a Dutch hospitality company known for its hotels and restaurants, and Mosa was a major Maastricht ceramics manufacturer that produced durable tableware for domestic and commercial use. The combination of the Van der Valk crest and Mosa backstamp identifies this piece as branded Dutch hospitality ware rather than a general souvenir mug.
Good vintage condition with visible signs of previous use. Light surface wear and minor marks are present throughout. The foot rim shows age-related wear consistent with use. The blue crest and line decoration remain clearly visible.
