An Irish style sterling silver mether cup exemplifies the Celtic Revival style of 1930, rendered in polished silver with a reflective finish and visible surface wear. The piece takes a vase-shaped circular body with a flared mouth, a shaped four-cornered top rim, four buttress-style side handles, and a tapered body resting on a flat base. The exterior remains completely free of inscriptions or engravings, retaining a smooth metal surface throughout. Measuring 10.2 cm high, 7.6 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep, this item suits display on a gentleman's library desk or atop a dining room sideboard. Its compact proportions allow easy placement among other silverware collections or decorative table settings in a modern domestic interior.

FAQs

A mether is a traditional Irish communal drinking vessel, historically crafted from wood with a four-cornered rim and multiple handles designed for sharing.

Silver mether cups are constructed from sterling silver, featuring cast or hand-hammered panels that emulate early medieval wooden designs.

Authentic Irish silver displays official assay marks, such as the Dublin Hibernia stamp, alongside standard fineness marks and makers initials.

A silver mether serves as a distinctive decorative centerpiece on a sideboard, desk, or open shelving, functioning as a standalone accent or vessel.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it with a soft microfibre cloth and applying specialised silver polish periodically to control tarnish.
