30 Shots for April - Day 21: Mystery Object?

@annied is hosting a challenge for April to take 30 shots of the same subject - since I've been struggling for inspiration all year, I've chosen to join in just for the fun of it. I have decided that my subject will be the glass cabinet in our kitchen - here's the twenty-first glimpse of what you might find within.

Older 365ers may know what this is - it dates from the Victorian era when men often had luxuriant moustaches which made drinking tea a hazardous pursuit. The moustache cup was invented to allow the moustache wearer to drink without drowning his moustache and without dribbling tea down his chin!
My husband desperately needs one of these! LOL! (That is, if he drank tea!)

You have the most amazing array of objects in that cabinet. What a fun object this is -- and how practical!

I never knew that! Well fancy me! In those days just about everyone (male) had a moustache or/and beard!

Pretty cup. Yes, I've seen these before.

That would have been my guess. My husband could use one.

This item...and the others look splendid in isolation, maybe we should display them differently, i.e. when not on show here.
