    How's this for a drinking vessel, huh??

    About 4 inches tall! A treat to myself for all the sales I made recently.

    Looks like the design was applied to the cup on a rolling mill.

    I had my eye on it for months. When I'd finally sold enough of my antiques, I decided to treat myself.

    Nice treat, Shangas!

    You usually show marks but didn't include them this time. Can we see? :)

    The marks are pretty hard to photograph. They're almost impossible to FIND, but if you insist...

    L-R:

    Maker's mark, Lion Passant, Leopard's Head, [M] (1887), and the Duty Mark for Queen Victoria.

    Wow. I didn't realize just how well they were hidden!

    Doesn't look hidden,a good part of the design was "flattened" to add the marks.
