Child’s lustreware mug, c.1840

English copper lustre child’s mug from the mid-1800s has a light blue enamel band with relief figures of children…

And cupid sitting on what appears to be a polka dotted goat!

This little mug measures 3″ tall and is 4-3/4″ long

The tin handle and straps at the top and bottom were attached to the body, enabling the mug to be functional again

The original handle might have looked something like this
