Huge Copper Lustre Mug Stein Large Cup, Pink Luster Rim, Prob Staffordshire 1850
Item History & Price
One of many great items I purchased from the estate of a gentleman who had a large collection of antique copper lustreware. This is so large it's spectacular!
Porcelain inside the mug with a pink lustre band at the top, the exterior is copper colored with a beaded rim. It's a really cool, eye catching piece. Photo 8 shows what may be a makers mark, not quite sure. Photo 9 is the best place to see "graying" to the copper, I prefer it this way, kind of a patina. If you ...prefer it bright and shiny I'm not sure how to clean it or if you can. There is a black pin fire mark on the inside, not unusual for something like this, see photo 10. No chips or cracks. The reflective nature of this made it very hard to photograph, please see all photos to judge condition for yourself and ask if you have any questions or need more pictures.
Just under 5" tall and wide at the mouth, it weighs 22 ounces and will hold a lot of beer!
