Description
One of the nicest examples I have come across for a while, this handsome beaker will be a welcome addition to your collection.
The top has a very thick band of sterling silver; the front has a shield shaped mount, which could be personalised if desired with an inscription; and the base has a very thick sterling silver foot.
The silver rim is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham 1878, together with the highly desirable Queen Victoria's head mark, the shield and base mount also have matching partial marks. The makers mark is present too: W.S into a rectangle with cut corners for the silversmith, William Sweeting.
I have included a photograph of the back of the cup showing a natural inclusion in the horn, purely for accuracy. An exceptional piece measuring 4 3/4" tall with a rim diameter measuring 2 7/8". Excellent condition.
