This is also inscribed Hugh Lyster Rodd 1902, is 2 3/4"H x 4" across the top not including the handles. So with them both 1902 and for the same person maybe the cup/mug is just that rather than a Christening mug - any thoughts appreciated. I tried to find information on this individual, all I could find is that he was a boat builder in the Victoria area, from around 1927-40s. thanks for looking.
