This Regency silverware piece is an antique Old Sheffield Plate two-handled loving cup dating to c1830. The item presents a silver colour with visible copper bleed showing through the engraved initials on the front and at the interior, alongside a visible internal seam and surface wear. Notable structural details include twin loop handles extending from the sides, a prominent central girdled band around the body, and a moulded foot at the base. It stands 13 cm high, spans 19.5 cm wide, and has a rim diameter of 10.5 cm. In a modern interior setting, this loving cup works well displayed on a sideboard top as a decorative tabletop accessory or traditional vessel. The metallic finish and classic proportions suit formal living areas, dining rooms, or traditional display spaces where historical silverware forms part of the room arrangement.

FAQs

A loving cup is a traditional two-handled drinking vessel historically shared at banquets, weddings, and ceremonial gatherings to symbolise friendship and unity.

Old Sheffield Plate was manufactured by fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a copper ingot using heat and pressure before rolling it into sheets for crafting objects.

Authentic pieces often feature a slight reddish copper exposure where the silver plating has thinned, as well as distinct solder seams and period-appropriate makers stamps.

Position the piece on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, or utilise it as an accent vessel for dried floral displays.

Wipe softly with a non-abrasive cloth and apply mild silver polish sparingly to prevent excessive wear to the fused silver layer.
