Hello Everyone

Hopefully you can help...

Attached are two pics of a little mug I picked up that I'd be interested to know anything about.

It's porcelain, and moulded with a different face on each side - both are of the same military man, one with a pipe and one without.

It is marked to the base but the marks mean nothing to me. I don't know why, but I imagine it might have had an easter egg on the top of it, maybe in the '70's.

It looks Chinese or Japanese... However.. I could be totally wrong as there is no basis to my imaginings!! and there is a bit of a scandinavian feel to the painting.

So, basically, I've no idea!!

I look forward to hearing from you.

hmmm it definitely doesn't look oriental - not sure about Russian either. It's really nice but I haven't a scooby doo about it's provenance sadly.
