Shaving mug?
I’ve seen cups that size (2 - 2.5”) with 3 handles in porcelain or glass described as toothpick holders.
Hi kwqd thanks for the love and your comment. It’s a tiny mug like something you might give for a christening gift and it seems quite finely made. I agree it has the shape for a shaving mug but I thinks it’s a little small. Thanks for the thought though, my brain needs kickstarting these days.
Hi string-of-pearls thanks for that thought I’ll do some research around that. I have Minnie and mickey toothpick holders much more recent but a similar width! Thanks
Thanks to sherrilou and kwqd for the love. Much appreciated as always.
Thanks to Newfld and fortapache for the love - greatly appreciated
Looks like elephant trunks and grass at the bottom.
