Pewter Pint Irish Pub Mug - SOLD

This Irish pub mug was made by Joseph Austen & Son of Cork Ireland working from 1823-1846.

This firm made a variety of mugs and is probably most famous for producing "haystack" measures.

This mug is in fine condition with a good "as struck" touchmark on the inside bottom. Note the chatter marks on the outside of the body. These were caused by the cutting tool vibrating on the surface. The mug is 4 3/8" tall to the lip.
