Mini Mug

Location:
This miniature mug was located in a small cigar box of other trinkets. The UFO Team was entranced by the small size, wondering if it was made for small drinkers like leprechauns or if it was made for small drinks like shots of whiskey.

Description:
This small mug is white in color and has a shiny, enamel finish. The artwork is of a couple in the trees apparently having a picnic. Below the artwork is what appears to be "Opia." Based on the history of the family, this could be Norwegian.

Unique Marks:
"Opia" on the front in gold filigree. No stamps on the bottom.

History:
Unknown at this time.
