Description: NOTE- My eBay name is "mr.goodpic" because I am a semi-pro digital photographer and am finishing up editing my booklet on how to take pro quality pics of eBay items with little effort; learn the one simple secret! The better your pics, the more you will sell, as great pics give buyers confidence in you as a seller. I will have this booklet for sale in digital format shortly; if you are interested let me know and I will contact you when the booklet is listed on eBay, or just check back and see if I have it for sale yet, I'm doing the final editing now. I will sell it for $5/copy. RARE in COBALT BLUE COLOR Antique circa 1880 "REMEMBER ME" Glass Coffee Mug The mug measures 3 1/2" tall, 3 3/8" top rim diameter. No chips, cracks, scratches or staining, perfect; there is tiny mold roughness all around the inner lower edge of the top rim, but this how the mug was made and does not at all detract. According to the collector book shown, this mug dates to circa 1880 and was made in 3 colors: clear/colorless, amber and cobalt blue, see book pics. Cobalt blue lists for the highest price of $65-$80 in 1995 because it is the hardest color to find. My camera is not able to capture the rich cobalt color real well; the mug has a rich cobalt blue color tone in real life, beautiful. The mug glows like vaseline glass in blacklight, see pic, this is a characteristic of some/not all colored EAPG and Theme/Novelty glassware items circa 1870-1890s. Please ask any questions. You can use this mug for hot coffee/tea IF you first pour into the mug any creamer/half & half, then pour in the hot coffee/tea but not boiling hot; if you pour any boiling hot liquid straight into just about any glass mug it will crack (except Pyrex glass mugs, see my other listings). I have used several antique glass mugs for hot coffee over the years following this procedure and never once did any mug crack. I have never used this particular mug for coffee or anything ever; I only recently re-discovered it in my storage, forgot I had it. (Just FYI you should never wash collectible glassware items in the dishwasher, instead always wash by hand which is much gentler on the glass. Dishwashers can fairly quickly fog up clear glassware with mineral stain because the water is SO hot for SO long it opens up the glass molecules enough to let minerals inside the glass, thus causing the whitish mineral stain.)
