This antique sterling silver service of six drinking cups represents a fine example of traditional silversmith craftsmanship and refined barware design. Each cup is formed in classic proportions with an elegantly engraved exterior and a contrasting gold wash interior, originally applied both for visual richness and practical protection of the silver surface. The vessels rest on properly balanced round bases decorated with matching engraved details, creating a unified and architectural presentation across the set. Maker’s marks are clearly stamped to the undersides, offering verification of sterling content and period manufacture.
The set is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. The gilt interiors remain well preserved, and the engraved surfaces retain attractive definition, indicating careful use and long-term preservation. Each cup measures approximately five inches in height with a base diameter of about two and a half inches. The total combined weight of the six cups is 24.79 troy ounces of sterling silver, not including the gold wash. This distinguished set is well-suited for both decorative display and practical use, and would make a desirable addition to a serious silver collection or a refined bar setting.
