History: A charming mid-century commemorative ceramic tankard, issued for the Rotary International Krugersdorp Monument chapter in South Africa. The mug features a stylized version of the Rotary gearwheel emblem and is finished in a cream glaze with pronounced crazing throughout, indicating age and giving it a rustic appeal. These types of mugs were often produced in limited numbers for local Rotary events or chapters. While unmarked on the base, the glaze, form, and printing style suggest a South African studio origin between the 1960s and 1980s. A modest yet characterful collector’s item for Rotary memorabilia or South African historical ceramics.
 
 
Ideal for display in a Rotary club collection or as a vintage curio, this tankard captures a slice of local heritage from Krugersdorp’s civic culture.
 
Flaws: Crazing
