    Hi everyone. I just bought this mug at a shop in Malaysia. I've seen other stoneware mugs here that seemed to copy the old American barrel mugs but they usually had a bottom stamp that said Made in China in some form. This one had a paper marker that was already torn off and a hallmark underneath that says Top Point I think. I've never seen a mug with a lid like this either. Anyone know where this is IMG_20181212_125743593~3.jpg IMG_20181212_131039141~2.jpg IMG_20181212_125759840~2.jpg IMG_20181212_123131237~2.jpg IMG_20181212_123131237~3.jpg from? Thanks!

    It looks like Tap Point to me. Maybe a chain of Malaysian coffee places?

    Tap point, which goes well with it being in the manner of a beer barrel.

    Why would only the "a" be lower case?

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Because the slope sides an upper case "A" can be a visual pain when it comes to kerning. :hilarious:
