Description The story goes that these are chocolate mugs mailed to my grandmother monthly one by one as a wedding gift in the early 1920s. There are 5 mugs total. One mug is cleanly broken in half. The rest are in excellent condition. They were kept in grandma's china closet and never used. There is gold on rim, near base, in a design along the handle, and incorporated into the rose/floral design. They are fine, light weight.
