Handsome early-20th-century copy of a George III style silver bellied pint mug with a plain body, leaf-capped scrolling handle sitting on a round spreading foot. This style of silver mug would have been popular in the mid 18th century.
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.
