The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
Williamsburg, United States
British and American newspapers record the availability of masonic engraved glassware on both sides of the Atlantic in the 18th and 19th centuries. This mug is a rare survival and could have been part of a larger set engraved for an individual with the initials "RT" who wished to proclaim his role as a Freemason.
