Early American Silver Cup & Cover

19th century
Description

An interesting and speculative American silver CUP & COVER likely to be of a quite early date. Probably a condiments cup, for pickle or perhaps mustard, this pretty cup features twin cast handles and a shaped knop to the cover. It is stamped: “BARTON” and “SILVER” flanking a central motif. 13.5cms high; 13cms wide (across the handles) and 8.5cms front-to-back. (NB: there are a couple of small shallow dents and a little mis-shaping of the edge of the lid, but no serious damage)

** Limited research to date has indicated that this is likely to be by Charles E Barton who was co-founder of the renown firm of silversmiths, Reed & Barton, founded in Taunton, Massachusetts in 1824. In 1840 the output of this firm was marked “Reed & Barton” and it is likely that this piece pre-dates this.

** Please note that this interesting piece of colonial silver is not on view in the shop; for further details call 07860 818212 or e-mail kerry@quietstreetantiques.co.uk

FAQs

An Early American silver cup and cover is a two-handled hollowware vessel crafted by colonial or post-revolutionary silversmiths, often designed for ceremonial, presentation, or decorative household use.

Pieces from this era were primarily fabricated from melted coin silver or sterling silver, hand-hammered and finished with cast embellishments such as finials and handles.

Authentic items feature specific makers marks or initials stamped directly into the metal, along with characteristic construction traits like hand-poured solder joints and minor irregularities from hand hammering.

A classic silver cup functions well as a focal accent on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, providing contrast against contemporary surfaces or complementing dark wood furniture.

Maintain silver hollowware by lightly dusting with a microfibre cloth and using specialized non-abrasive silver polish to clear heavy tarnish without wearing down maker marks or delicate surface details.
