Painted glass Tumbler, (Friedrich).14. Hungarian coronation Glass, painted. The Mug. (Plate 208.) In accordance with its purpose, the form of the Mug is essen-tially different from that of other drinking vessels. The body usuallyhas a cylindrical form, and is without a foot, or with only a ringfoot. A movable lid of metal, mostly tin, is attached by a hingeto tbe vertical handle, in order to keep the liquid as fresh as possible,in view of the great surface of evaporation.

That glass has of late yearsbeen preferred to stoneware, is due to the fact that the liquid isvisible and more easily investigated in glass vessels; and that tlieseare more easily cleaned.

The hinge must be so attached that when the lid is wideopen, it forms an obtuse angle with the rim. Meyer, Handbook of Omampnt. O 354 Plate 208. The Muff.
