- Pattern: Currier & Ives, "The Farmer's Home In Winter"
- Vintage: 1980's (estimated)
- Made in Japan
- Details: We have seen many similar mugs with the same design used for coffee, but they are narrower towards the bottom. Because of how wide these are, and the nice wide bottom, we believe they were designed as shaving mugs. Doesn't mean you couldn't use it for coffee if you really wanted to. This is a beautiful version of Currier and Ives print, "The Farmer's Home in Winter", in blue and white. The scene is one of the much loved, traditional lithographs designed by Currier & Ives from the 1800's to 1907. This mug is blue and white and rimmed in gold both on top and bottom. There is no manufacturer information so we're unable to tell you more beyond the description. We currently stock several other Currie & Ives pieces, some in blue and white. We also carry the same shaving mug with a different scene called "The Homestead in Winter". This is a beautiful mug of Old Americana and would make a lovely gift for someone who shaves the old fashioned way. A great gift for an Americana collector. Great addition to a farmhouse or country bath decor. We think it would look great in the bathroom holding toothbrushes. Excellent gift for lovers of Blue and White!
