Postby MAWubbolts » Fri Apr 29, 2011 9:57 am

Hello,

I dont know I can get here answere here about my questions.

Last year I bought this silver cup (108 gram) at a jumble sale. It is about 13 cm. I'm often wondering about this silver cup. I would like to get more information about this silver cup;

what is it? (Is it a champagne cup?)
What is the silver content?
do you maybe know how old it is
who did make it?
Is it a rare item?

For the photos:

Have a nice day!

See ya,
Matt. Wubb.

Hi, I would say it is a champagne or liquer goblet, it was hallmarked in Birmingham 1910 and I believe the maker to be Pearce & Son.
It is sterling silver ie 925/1000 std and would probably been part of a set of 6 or more identical cups, not a particularly rare item but still collectable.
