This unusual Chinese export sterling silver rowing trophy or goblet from circa 1890 displays a silver-gilt interior and delicate foliage engraving across the bowl and domed base. Three crossed oar stems support the bowl above a chased circular foot, leaving the vacant cartouches completely free of inscriptions. The gleaming silver exterior contrasts with the warm gold of the interior, while the intricate engraving and crossed hardware create a distinct sporting design. Measuring 19.6 cm high, 8.9 cm wide and 8.9 cm deep, the piece sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or shelf within a gentleman's library or study to hold small items or serve purely as a decorative display object.

FAQs

Chinese Export silver refers to silver objects crafted in China between the late 18th and mid-20th centuries primarily for Western markets, often blending traditional Chinese motifs with Western forms and functional designs.

Antique trophy cups were typically forged from sterling silver or silver plate, frequently incorporating a silver-gilt interior coating to protect the metal from liquid corrosion.

Authentic pieces generally display specific makers marks or artisan character marks alongside pseudo-hallmarks, alongside evidence of hand-hammered joinery and regional decorative engraving techniques.

A silver trophy cup can be styled on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or sideboard, functioning as a structured decorative focal point or as a receptacle for dried foliage.

Clean the silver exterior gently using a soft cotton cloth and silver polish, avoiding abrasive treatments on the gilded interior to prevent rubbing away the gold layer.
