A fantastic 'Welsh Costume' Moustache Cup! A hipster heirloom and the perfect eclectic piece for anyone who adores aesthetic nostalgia.
The moustache cup was invented in England in the 1860s or 1870s by potter Harvey Adams of Staffordshire, to solve a very real problem: hot tea melted moustache wax and stained whiskers!
The cup has a semicircular ledge just inside the rim with a small opening (half-moon shaped) that allows liquid to pass through while keeping a wearer’s moustache from getting wet or stained. Genius!
Your chance to own and cherish a piece of Welsh rural history.
- Welsh Costume cup displaying three ladies enjoying a cup of tea
- The illustration was transfer printed and hand painted and is on both sides
- Early 20th century (c.1910–1930)
