About 3 3/8" tall, used probably but not stained inside. There is significant craqueleure, it has become slightly darkened along the bottom. Ceramic coffee mug souvenir item of England.

Today 84 Portobello Road in the historic London district is the home of a commercial supplier of door handles. Some years ago including the 1960's it was the Georgian House Antiques shop and the tenuous connection to rock history is that the Beatles bought the police capes used in the "Help" photos there. Now I wouldn't take this too far, but as these mugs were probably sold only at the shop itself and they look to be early to mid 1960's, it is not impossible that this unassuming coffee mug was once in the presence of one or more Beatles. Who knows, one of them might even have picked it up. DON'T WASH IT. Actually it is too late as someone already did a few times but it is the thought that counts.

All that said and I hope entertainingly, a lot of famous people shopped a lot of places in their lives and so I have still listed this as a souvenir item and I think it works well as such. It has an evocative pre-Mod op/pop art style, the geometric style that led into the psychedelic age. But the striking horn on the vintage Victrola player is also evocative of past times and the Sunday band concert at the park pavilion and colorful balloons overhead and that type of imagery.

A really special souvenir and one you really won't run into very often.
