Drinking Mugs are very rare from the Hennell workshops. This particular design is baluster in form and stands on a spreading foot. It is, however, most unusually textured to simulate basket weave, with an entwined corded handle. The base is very well marked and is engraved with a set of script initials and the presentation date, 17th September, 1871. This example is in excellent condition and displays a palely gilded interior, a sign of quality production.
Height: 4 inches, 10cm.
Base Diameter: 2.5 inches, 6.25 cm.
Weight: 6oz.
