A 19th-century lithograph, a four-finger handle, and blue-and-white porcelain made in Japan — the shaving mug as Americana keepsake.
Currier & Ives produced their beloved American scene lithographs between 1835 and 1907, and "The Farmer's Home In Winter" is one of their most recognized winter subjects. This 1980s Japanese porcelain shaving mug brings that image into the bathroom in classic blue and white. The wide flat base and four-finger handle are the tell — these were designed for lathering shaving soap, not for coffee (though you could). Tiny wear on the gold rim; otherwise no chips, scratches, or crazing.
A beautiful piece for an Americana collector, a winter or holiday display, a farmhouse bath, or a Father's Day gift for the man who still shaves the old-fashioned way. We also carry the companion mug with "The Homestead In Winter" scene.
