What is it?

If it's for drinking hot chocolate or soup, even fast, it must be a cup of some sort, likely with a handle since the exterior of the cup would be hot to the touch.

Could you pleas give us some idea of the shape of the item?

Move your focus away from the shape if you can, think of its name.

Well yes, can't show you that because I need the subject. The mug is covered all over with it.

Does it have anything to do with the Jorvik Viking center in York?
