| Each depicting a scene of Shakespeare's birthplace, these two miniature commemorative mugs bear Minton and registry marks for the 1870's. Each miniature measures 1 1/2" in height. One bears a scene, I think, of the room where Shakespeare was born, and the other of the church in Stratford-upon-Avon, erroneously titled "grammer school". These small, originally inexpensive, were sold as souvenir items in the Nineteenth Century, where Shakespeare's fans already made pilgrimages to Stratford. The two are essentially in excellent condition, I mention only a small discoloration on the top the handle and then on the edge of the "room" mug. | |||||||
