Great Ca. 1900 Beta Theta Pi Fraternity Beer Mug Hand-Decorated

This is a great circa 1900 beer mug for the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The mug is hand-decorated with some gilt details and its organic handle has a great thumbpad. The mug displays a lovely gradient finish of pastel colors, a light almost pink color across the top blending into the base colors of orchid, light purple/blue. The bottom of the pastel-hued mug has a very nice maker mark.

Circa 1900.

Approximately 4-1/2" in height; 3-7/8" diameter (at base).

China (hand-painted).

Handle.
