Personalized Antique Barber Shaving Mug — “M. Kivilighan”

Before electric razors and morning routines at home, a gentleman kept his shaving mug at the barber.
This antique porcelain shaving mug was custom-made with the owner’s name in bold gold lettering so the barber could grab the right mug from the shelf—no mix-ups, no nonsense. It lived at the barbershop, was used again and again to whip up a proper lather, and quietly marked its owner as a regular.
Hand-painted florals, gilt name, classic pedestal form—and just enough honest interior wear to tell you it did exactly what it was meant to do.
A wonderful piece of everyday social history from the era when a haircut and shave were an event, not an errand.
Perfect for:
• antique barbershop or men’s décor
• display shelves or curiosity cabinets
• collectors of personalized Americana
• conversation-starting gifts
One of a kind. Once it’s gone, there will never be another with this name.
