Up for auction is a very nice old antique shaving mug or skuttle. This beautiful old porcelain china piece has a unique twisted-rib or twisted-optic design to it. It has an old scene on the one side with the words "shrubbery & pier, southend" underneath the scene. After a little research, I believe this may refer to Southend, Essex or Southend-on-Sea, England. I would have thought the mug to be either English or German manufactured - fine quality and no marks. Mug stands about 4.25" tall and is about 5.25" from fornt of spout to handle. Mug in excellent physical condition (no chips, cracks or crazing), plenty of wear to scene and trim, as photos show.
