Moustache cup
During the Victorian and Edwardian period in Britain, moustaches
were an extremely fashionable way for men to style their facial
hair. Wax was often used to style moustaches to keep them neat and
tidy, and so, the moustache cup was invented in 1860 by Harvey
Adams to stop wax dripping into tea and put an end to soggy
moustaches. This moustache cup was manufactured by Royal Albert
Crown China in the early 20th century.
