Or maybe it could be one of these...

Hmmm...most shaving mugs had the strainer built inside of them or they were built scuttle style.  BUT would be truly unusual to have feet!  Because of the chance of tipping/turning over would be so great you typically see a round/square solid base. 

However, after WWII they made all kinds of novel items to sell, sell, sell.

The one below is a raised flower shaving mug...but solid base

I'll have to do more research on the lady's shaving mug, like rauville said.
That seems to be the closest example to what I have.
My piece doesn't have a lid like the RS Prussia piece, but that doesn't mean it never had one when new.
Thanks, everybody!!

I zoomed in on the maker's mark on the bottom.
It's unreadable, but I thought perhaps somebody might recognize the general shape of it.

The bottom one looks like a squirrel!

Go back to page 1 and look at the number 3 pic !!  Don`t look at the cup itself,,look at the pic you posted !!   Blind as I am I can see the numbers !!  Want me to send you a pair of my cheaters ??

Oh Mart...you made me laugh harder!  Yes it's a 39 on the front page but when she blows it up it looks like a squirrel holding a nut! 

[mart]
