Description
This large and attractive late 18th Century English Georgian antique Old Sheffield Plate Mug has obviously had a busy life, but nevertheless still exudes an elusive air of period charm, with it's vertical seam clearly to be seen under the handle running up the body, and though rather less clearly, along the underside of the handle, this fine old piece retains it's original turned wooden inset base and holds just one litre, equivalent to an Imperial Pint and Three Quarters. This, together with the fact that it was purchased in Spain, raises the question of whether, if it is indeed English, as we believe, it was perhaps destined for export to the Continent, rather than intended for the home market. For a comparable example, see Tom Frost's "The Price Guide to Old Sheffield Plate ~ Page 322 ~ Ref. Tan.7", {A.C.C. Woodbridge 1971}.
