Says Jonathan:\u00a0&#8220;The very rough mug that defies categorization was found at the Connecticut Spring Antiques Show&#8230;about three years ago.&#8221; It stands 5 inches high and was made in England, c.1800.<\/p>\n<p>It was not unusual for damaged mugs such as this to be resurrected by local tinsmiths.
