Description

Here are five superb handblown cut glass and engraved drinking cups by renowned German metalworkers WMF, each in a beautiful silver plated cradle. These are intended for tea or coffee, but would make excellent cups for cocktails, Pimms or Punch!

Each glass has a band of engraved butterflies around the top, with cut glass bodies and decorative spots to their wings. The silver cradles have wonderful sweeping lines, and are pure art nouveau in their design.

On the underside, each cup is stamped with the running ostrich mark and name of WMF in a striped lozenge, with the letter G, dating the cups to between 1903 - 1910.

As I hope the photographs show, all five cups are in lovely condition, with the minimum surface wear that might be expected from items of this age - they have clearly been well loved and cared for. There are some microscopic flea bites to the rim of two cups, but these have to be really searched for - I have included two photographs so that you might see clearly, but they are incredibly small, and I have reflected this in the price. (Please be aware that these photos are enlarged)

Each cup stands 10cm high, is 7cm wide, and is 10cm across the cup to the edge of the handle.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can provide any further information or photographs.

I provide free delivery to the UK, and am happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

Art Nouveau was an international design movement that flourished between 1890 and 1910, characterised by organic forms, asymmetrical lines, and motifs inspired by natural world plants and insects.

Makers during this period frequently utilised brass, pewter, and britannia metal with silver plating, often paired with blown, cut, or acid-etched crystal glass inserts.

Authentic items typically feature makers stamps such as the ostrich mark used by WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik) alongside specific numbering indicating the plating method and production era.

These pieces can be displayed on open shelving, bar carts, or sideboards to introduce reflective metallic surfaces and historic craftsmanship into contemporary spaces.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently using specialised non-abrasive silver polish and soft cloths, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the protective finish, while glass inserts should be hand washed.
