Circa 1870 English Antique Silver Plate Mug
SKU: 202603286243
Introducing an antique British silver-plated mug.
Its most distinctive feature is the hand-engraved inscription "J.B. May 5th 1870" within the medallion on its side. This suggests it was given as a commemorative gift (such as for a birthday or baptism) to its owner, "J.B.", on May 5th, 1870, conveying its unique history to the present day.
The entire body features powerful yet delicate chasing of hop fruits and leaves, which are also familiar ingredients in beer. The ornate, curvilinear handle, typical of Victorian style, fits comfortably in the hand, reflecting the artisans' dedication to design.
