This mug was made by Edward Lownes, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Probably dates to between 1800 and 1815.
What was this style of mug called?

Hello-

A parallel sided mug?

Hello Byran.

No, parallel sided mug is not the term I'm looking for here.
The name does have something to do with the parallel lines .

I would call that a threaded cann. But I suspect that is more regional in name.

Hello JLDoggett.

The term threaded cann makes a lot of sense to me, but that is not what my book calls it.

Hello-

I am willing to give it another try, how about a Christening Cup?

Regards-

Sorry Byran, Christening Cup is not the term we're looking for.

It looks a bit like a barrel to me, so: barrel mug or cask mug?

Sorry Miles, the book does not call it a barrel mug or cask mug.

Can't think of any good clues.
Will provide the answer in a few days if no one guesses it.

I Would call it a reeded cann, but that's just me.

My book calls it a hooped mug.

Hello-

I have found this exact design online only made in England. It must have been very popular.

That picture came from Richard Osterberg's "Silver Holloware for Dining Elegance". ISBN 0-88740-955-5
