Victorian silver tot cups were small drinking vessels used during the 19th century for serving spirits like whisky or brandy, often utilised in gentlemens clubs or domestic settings.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver-plate, often featuring hand-engraved motifs, chased details, and occasionally a gilt interior known as wash-gilt.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, makers mark, and date letter corresponding to the Victorian era.

Antique silver items add texture and historical contrast when displayed on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or curated tabletop vignettes alongside modern decor.

Preservation involves storing silver in tarnish-resistant cloths, cleaning gently with specialised non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary, and avoiding harsh chemicals.
