Victorian Silver Mug 1875

A fine Victorian silver mug.

The body is straight-sided and tapering, standing on a simple flat base.   It is engraved with a double frieze of leaves, with garlands of leaves around the body.  It has a plain loop handle, and it is gilded (gold-washed) inside.   

This is a very good half-pint mug, which is a superior weight and feels heavy in the hand.  The engraving is typically mid-Victorian, and it would make a marvellous christening gift.  

This attractive Victorian silver mug was made in 1875 by Edward Barnard & Sons of London.
