Jug, Cup, Vase? Unknown Hallmark

Post by georgeh »

I tried different Google image searches with no luck. I am not sure what to even call this object! Now I don't know where to search next. Thanks for any help.

Those ads are interesting! Thank you. Any ideas on what this item would be called? My mom used it as a vase, but its shape remains me of a trophy cup. There are no monograms or places for monograms.

They are usually described as a 'two-handled footed cup'.
