Shaving Mugs

This Sheffield made shaving mug is produced by Sheffield craftsmen. It’s pewter and Sheffield still has a pewter industry. Pewter is an alloy mainly of tin combined with small amounts of other metals such as copper and lead to make it more durable. It produces an attractive finish which darkens over time. It is an ideal material for shaving mugs.

It’s height is 3 inches and width excluding the handle 3 3/4 inches. As with all our prices the price is the total and includes UK postage. It’s marked on the base handcrafted pewter Sheffield made. Stock number P1. Price £29

We also have other £5 coins commemorating other British military events and set in appropriate wood for the coin including coins set in wood from the walnut wood from Lee Enfield rifle butts you can see these items each of which is only available in limited quantities due to the scarcity of the wood on typenet.com
