Details
Mustache cups were a popular invention during the Victorian era, designed to prevent gentlemen's mustaches from being stained or damaged by hot beverages like tea or coffee. These cups typically featured a small ledge or guard across the rim, allowing the drinker to sip without immersing their facial hair.
This particular cup is made of porcelain with a gold gilt finish, a common combination for decorative and functional tableware of the era.
Call out: some of the gold embellishment is worn off. See pictures.
