Believing that the use of personal shaving mugs prevented disease and rashes, barbering businesses stored mugs for the convenience of their regular customers. The porcelain mugs usually bore the patron's name and an image of their trade or fraternal lodge. Having your own mug was a matter of social pride. This antique shaving mug from the 1880-1920s is a unique and personal item that will add character to any collection. The mugs feature the initials IA and T. It is a great addition to any vanity, perfume, or shaving collection. The mug has been previously enjoyed and has some signs of use, and the T mug has damage to the rim. It has a classic design with a handle and a wide opening for easy use. This item is perfect for those who appreciate vintage pieces and the history they hold.
