Derby Silver Co. mug

Description

This is a small mug (2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter, 3 1/2 inches tall) that is marked on the bottom, "Derby Silver Co. Derby CT Quadruple Plate" and the number 25.  (See photos)  It has a small dent in the rim and is tarnished but in otherwise good conditon, to my untrained eye.  It was one of the items I received when my parents died and their home was emptied.  I know nothing else about it.
