English Victorian pewter quart mug, with the marks for the reign of Victoria, (pre 1878) and the other county ciphers. Also seven other capacity seal marks for the reign of Edward VII. Made by James Yates of Birmingham. Lovely mellow baluster shape. Has a few body dents, and the rim is out of round a little. Mug measures 18.5 cm high, rim to handle is 18 cm, and diameter of body is 11 cm. The top 3/4 of the mug is a lovely mellow pewter colour, the lower third is paler - maybe it sat in fluid up to this mark, changing the colour? Or is it just that dust has settled on the top, and not coloured the base which it overhangs. Old repair mark under the base, which all but obliterates the RMC mark for the Royal Marines at Chatham Dockyards in Portsmouth.
