The body of the cup is decorated with georgian coins from 1757, 1774, 1779, and one 1807, which is possibly a replacement, as it isn't as worn as the other coins on the outside. There is a small engraving to the top of the cup with a beaked griffin type beast, the interior of the cup is also silvered , and when the cup is tipped upside down it reveals a glass plate which houses three georgian dice.

FAQs

The George III period spans from 1760 to 1820, a time when advancements in Sheffield plate manufacturing allowed for more accessible decorative metalware and gaming accessories for the gentry.

Items from this era were frequently constructed using early fusion plating techniques, applying a thin layer of silver over a copper base, often finished with hand-hammered detailing and applied medallions.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the weight, the presence of copper bleed-through where the silver layer has worn thin, traditional construction methods, and historical wear patterns.

Antique metal objects can be displayed as statement pieces on sideboards, mantels, or open shelving, contrasting clean modern lines with historic metallic textures.

Silver plate should be cleaned sparingly using non-abrasive cloths and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the remaining silver layer from the base metal.
