Lustre Glass Victorian Mug, 1887.
Gorgeous glass handled mug, with etching of leaves and ferns. It has a name and date engraved: “Mrs. Hawkins. 1897”. This is a form of Exhibition glass, and has a an elusive gold sheen, and lights of purple, green etc on the handle. Items such as these were sold and engraved to request at Exhibitions - Easter Shows and similar. It measures 11 cm high and 7.8 cm diameter at the middle - with the handle it is 11 cm wide. Excellent condition, no chips. This has been in one of my personal collections for the past 21 years.
