Mug measures 6 inches high with a diameter of 4.5 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d like to imagine that the mug lost its handle as it was flung across the room during a heated bar brawl. Luckily, a clever tinsmith fashioned a replacement handle and attached it to the mug using 3 horizontal bands. I guess that after the mug was repaired it was involved in another bar brawl, as the bottom band is now missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2623-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16116\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2623-1.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2623-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2623-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2628.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16117\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2628.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2628-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2628-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2630.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2630.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2630-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2630-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2633.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16119\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2633.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2633-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2633-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2643.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16120\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2643.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2643-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2643-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2646.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16121\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2646.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2646-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2646-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2647-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16124\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2647-1.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2647-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2647-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This mocha mug with a similar form and from the same time period maintains its original handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-06-at-5.04.12-PM-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16123\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-06-at-5.04.12-PM-1.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-06-at-5.04.12-PM-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-06-at-5.04.12-PM-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\">1stDibs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cylindrical form mug was made in England around 1840.
