Pair of early Victorian silver half-pint mugs with hand-chased mottled and textured bodies. Each has a floral cartouche and gilded interior. These are unusual both in their design and the fact that they are a pair.
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.
These would make ideal christening gifts for twins!
