A delightful sterling silver collapsible beaker with its original leather case. Hallmarked Chester, 1914. Maker's mark rubbed, only '...& Co' legible. Beakers such as this were usually silver plated; a sterling silver example is considerably more scarce.

A really lovely thing.

FAQs

Collapsible silver beakers became popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries as portable drinking vessels for travellers, hunters, and gentlemen on the move.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver using telescopic overlapping sections that nest together, often accompanied by a fitted leather or hide case.

Authenticity is verified by examining the official British assay office hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the date, standard of silver, and maker.

Such compact silver objects make ideal display pieces for a desk, bookshelf, or cabinet of curiosities, adding a touch of historical craftsmanship to contemporary spaces.

Silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive polish to remove tarnish, and stored in a dry environment to protect both the metal and any original leather casing.
