Made in the 20th century, this heavy-gauge silver pint-size mug has a classic tapering cylindrical body and a c-shaped handle, a design made popular during the late 1800s.
A silver mug is a lidless drinking vessel with a handle and English silver mugs were made in graduated sizes; the most common being the quart, pint, half pint and gill. Gallon and half gallon mugs like this example appear from time to time.
The first "pots" (aka mugs) appeared in English taverns around 1650 and these early examples were tall with heavy banding, but around 1690
