This antique shaving mug is 4.5" tall and it is unmarked as to a maker's mark. The image has two dates of 1877 and 1890, don't know it this is the date of creation. There is a collage of firefighting items including a helmet with the name,"F. W. Becker". I am assuming this is an occupational shaving mug and the image cleverly display's the owner's name on the helmet as opposed to the sides of the mug, like conventional occupational mugs. The mug has three bands of gilt gold going around it and on the front of the handle as well. The back is blank. The top has two sections cut out, I assume for a brush and blade. There is overall wear with crazing and discoloring through out. There are small hairline cracks and little pit marks. The glaze has bumps, even heavy uneven drips that give the appearance of a wavy surface. It's a beautiful shaving mus for anyone that collects them or fire fighting antiques.
