A finely hand-painted occupational porcelain shaving mug for Dr. O. S. Kurich, featuring an unusually dynamic equestrian scene of a gentleman rider clearing a fence with trees and rolling hills in the distance. While the imagery emphasizes leisure rather than medical practice, accompanying research confirms the owner as Dr. Ostroilo S. Kurich, a practicing physician listed at 1919 Dupont Street in the 1908 San Francisco City Directory and referenced again in institutional publications of the period. The mug is framed with ornate gilt scrollwork and finished with gilt bands on the rim and foot, consistent with early 20th-century barbershop presentation ware.Dimensions approx.: Standard sizeThis lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA.
