A professional porcelain shaving mug for Chas. Carroll, decorated with a hand-painted paint can and brush—an occupational motif indicating the owner was a painter or decorator by trade. The gilt name banner wraps the front panel above a clean white body with gilt rim and foot bands. Included with the mug is an early sterilized Ever-Ready brush with a wooden grip, adding an appealing period pairing. The mug is made on a T&V France blank, a preferred importer’s porcelain used by American barbershop suppliers.Dimensions approx.: Standard sizeThis lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA.
