Re: Silver?
Hi,
Yes,it is solid silver of 13 Loth fineness (.812,5) and the maker is Neresheimer & Sohne,Hanau,Germany.

The image of the whole item is always helpful;Hanau silversmiths made reproduction silver reminiscent of previous periods (e.g.Renaissance).

Re: Silver?
Right,it could be easily described as early 17th century beaker, but it was made in late 19th century.

Re: Silver?
Do not worry;it IS silver.
As I said the fineness is expressed in old German unit Loth (number 13) equaling .812,5.
For example,sterling is .925 meaning 13 Loth or .812,5 has a bit less silver in the alloy, but still SOLID silver.
