Staffordshire shaving mug. Victorian Staffordshire shaving mug and ceramic cover (lid) with strap handle, transfer printed in blue, with a cricket scene of batsman, wicket-keeper and two fielders with pavilion and trees to background. To verso, a football scene involving four players with house and trees to background, a similar scene to lid. Floral decoration to outer rim and to handle. Approx 5.25” tall with ‘F. & R. Sports’ (Ford & Riley, circa 1865) to base. Sadly the rim of the mug has significant damage and has a piece missing from the rim plus a hairline crack as a result, some surface browning to this area, odd marks otherwise in good condition. A rare shaving mug in need of some restoration
