What is the pattern and the inscription

[oel]

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Victorian Silver Christening Mug, see George Unite, Birmingham: http://www.925-1000.com/dlBirmingham3.html#M
The date letter b for 1876

I believe the decoration to be based upon an Spanish(Arabic) Pattern.
The inscription I believe read; Ada Margaret Barwell as the Godmothers gift to sponsor and celebrate the baptism of Ena Barwell in 1876. I often pick the wrong Gothic! This could be helpful:


Cheers,

Oel.

I believe the recipient of this gift was Eva Barwell and her Godmother was a cousin whose father was much older than Eva's. The Barwell's were nineteenth century Birmingham bell founders (brass founders) and metal merchants. I have not looked to see if the family still follows that line of work.
