I've got 4 of these in a batch sale off eBay. They came from Germany to the UK and when they arrived 3 were broken. 1 was perfect, 2 had small chips or dinks and the last was smashed to smithereens. This is that one. It's also quite galling as this was the best of the bunch... much more detailed and clearly made from a better mould than the others. I got a full refund from the seller... so I guess I shouldn't moan... but I'd much rather have spent the money and received the mugs intact. Oh well, them's the breaks...

This all-black gloss handled mug is of a woman's head, with squinted eyes, wearing a collar and a short headdress. Another version is satin, more detailed, and has a taller headdress.
