Antique Solid Silver Christening Mug – Rococo Scroll Handle, Baluster Form (Unmarked, Tests as Silver)
A beautifully proportioned antique solid silver christening mug, likely British and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Crafted in a classic baluster form with a stepped circular foot and a boldly scrolled Rococo-style handle, this piece speaks to the refined elegance of the period.
Standing approx. 11 cm high and 7 cm across the rim, it has a pleasing weight and a warm, mellow patina. Though unmarked, it has been acid-tested and confirmed as solid silver. Age-related surface marks are present, consistent with careful use and handling over time.
These mugs were traditionally given as christening gifts and remain collectible today for their sentiment, form, and craftsmanship.
