Here is a beauty of a "scuttle' mug, a design not often seen today. Made in the shape of a coal scuttle with a sea motif of coral (handle) and shells (body), and hand painted in iridescent colors of "mother of pearl", this was made in Germany in the late 19th/early 20th century as indicated by the stamp on the bottom. It measures 5 1/2" in width; 3" in depth; and 4 1/2" in height, and is in excellent condition considering it's age. This is a real treasure for the collector of shaving mugs!
