A George V sterling silver goblet by James Deakin & Sons, made in Sheffield in 1921, displays a plain flared bowl, a knopped stem, a stepped circular foot, and a gilt interior. The polished silver exterior contrasts with the warm golden tone of the inner bowl, while the stepped foot provides a stable base and the turned knop accents the upright stem. Measuring 20.5 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter with a weight of 455 grams, the piece sits well upon a sideboard top within a gentleman's library. It serves as a traditional display piece or a decorative accent in a reception room, complementing existing silverware collections.

FAQs

During the early twentieth century, British silversmiths produced silver goblets for ceremonial toasts, sporting awards, and domestic dining. These pieces adhered to strict assay standards established in recognised silversmithing centres such as Sheffield and London.

A sterling silver goblet is constructed from an alloy containing 92.5 percent pure silver combined with copper for structural durability. Silversmiths shape the vessel through raising and soldering the bowl, stem, and foot together, often applying a gilded wash inside the bowl to protect the metal from acidic liquids.

Authentic Sheffield silver features a sequence of stamped British hallmarks. These typically include the lion passant for sterling silver quality, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, a specific date letter representing the exact year of manufacture, and a makers mark denoting the workshop.

A sterling silver goblet can be styled as a decorative object on a dining room sideboard, integrated into a bar cart arrangement alongside crystal glassware, or displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet. Grouping silver vessels of varying heights creates visual structure on a console or desk.

Sterling silver should be dusted regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and cleaned using a specialised silver foam or polish when surface oxidisation appears. Hand washing in warm, soapy water followed by immediate drying with a soft towel prevents water spots and tarnishing.
