“Brother” Victorian Shaving Mug

“Brother” Victorian Shaving Mug Not to be confused with a mustache cup, Shaving mugs allow for the lathering of shaving soap. Soap is placed in the upper chamber while hot water fills the lower chamber. Shaving mugs were created before bathrooms and were a feature on the typical washstand. Often matching or complimenting the wash set. Because this is in the “women’s realm” of décor, it often involved floral patterns. Please look over the photos carefully. SMgreen13
