Unusual photographic occupational porcelain shaving mug. Scene shows two sailing ships on a river or lake. Likely for a sailor or captain. Unusual heavy gilt base and handle with a nice maroon wrap. Mug is marked on base. Blank mug was made in France, but this is definitely an American piece. Photographic mugs are quite rare, and this is a good looking example.
