A finely executed professional porcelain shaving mug for Joe Guinasso, featuring an exceptionally detailed pair of running horses rendered in black linework with sweeping manes and soft blue shading beneath. The imagery suggests an occupational tie to horse handling—possibly a teamster, stableman, or someone working with draft or carriage horses. Gilt foliate accents flank the panel, with additional gilt bands at rim, foot, and name banner. The underside carries the retailer stamp Samish’s Hand Painted, 820 Stockton St., San Francisco, a known West Coast barbers’ supply and decorating shop.Dimensions approx.: Standard sizeThis lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA.
