Circa 1900 Portsmouth, New Hampshire Souvenir Mug

This is a circa 1900 souvenir mug from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The mug is small but substantial - almost like a miniature stein - and was made in Germany. A medallion on the front of the mug shows the house of Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Portsmouth native and among other vocations, author of "The Story of a Bad Boy". The medallion on the reverse shows the Jackson House, New Hampshire's oldest wooden house, still standing today. The mug holds about 1/8 of a liter, or four ounces.

Circa 1900.

Approximately 4-3/16" in height and 2-1/2" in diameter (at base) and 3-1/4" in width (to edge of handle).

Painted ceramic.

GERMANY on bottom and 1/8L near lip.

This is from a Portsmouth, New Hampshire collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay VBEX4/97 LFJX4/11

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The mug has some light crackling and some small spots of wear only.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
