A professional barber’s porcelain shaving mug decorated in gilt Old English lettering for Oliva Bros., featuring a finely hand-painted hanging cluster of bananas—an occupational motif indicating that the owner was likely a fruit merchant or produce dealer, possibly involved in banana importation or market trade. The clean white body is trimmed in gold at the rim, foot, and name ribbon, with subtle scroll accents completing the design. The underside is stamped Felda China, Germany, consistent with high-quality export blanks used by American barbershop suppliers of the period.Dimensions approx.: Standard sizeThis lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA.
