Hello I’ve just rediscovered this lovely interesting mug or is it a tankard , crest seems wrong way unless it’s for a left handed person, wooden base, but dark grey ceramic, I hope someone can help with more information about it
Steptoe1, Interesting.
Google Lens says it's possibly made by an outfit called Kraftware.
Here's another on eBay; the listing is good, because the pictures include ones in which the ceramic insert has been removed:

This vintage leather-wrapped mug is a classic example of 20th-century barware, likely dating from the 1970s or 1980s. [1, 2, 3]
The most notable feature is the colorful "Aimez Verite" coat of arms, which translates from French as "Love Truth." [2, 3, 9]

As to the positioning of the "Aimez Verite" coat-of-arms, I guess one's opinion of where it should be depends on whether the drinker wants to see it, or have other people see it. :-)
