A finely detailed occupational porcelain shaving mug for P. Gifford, depicting a farrier at work inside a blacksmith shop. The vignette shows a standing horse draped in a grey blanket, while the farrier crouches to fit or inspect a hoof beside his toolbox and tools. At the right, a brick forge glows with active fire, reinforcing the blacksmithing theme. The name P. Gifford appears in gold script above the scene, and the mug is finished with gilt trim around the rim, handle, and foot. A period shaving brush accompanies the mug, showing honest age consistent with barbershop use.Dimensions approx.: Standard sizeThis lot may be picked up free of charge from our facilities in Sacramento, CA.
