Sort of like this one? I just searched for "silver plate mug". It is not listed as a shaving mug. I can't imagine it is a drinking mug with that deep, ornate design near the rim. You would not get a good seal.
Hm, could be a number of things. I normally try to look for easy tell-tale signs such as; - brush rest ontop of the mug, and/or - classic soap insert into the mug that normally, but not always, comes out separately. If a mug has neither of those I normally pass
Here are some current listings where I believe it's safe to say they are shaving mugs...and the price is at below $50: Has the correct insert: Has the brush rest: Has the brush rest: And then...there are the silver plated scuttles....oh my...now that's a whole new level.....
Thank you, good tips. More sensibly, my pockets are mug-ed and razor-ed out until the new year at least. I will use those ideas. And again, those are some really pretty mugs. Too bad re-plating is so awfully expensive and the cost is justified because of the difficulty.
