Regular price
$324.00
Presented is a fine pair of Austro-Hungarian silver cups. The cups are decorated with nice scroll and leaf engraving surrounding a central cartouche. One cup is monogrammed JB, and the other is monogrammed NB, probably for a husband and wife. The other side of the cup is engraved “g.m.a.R.z.n”.
The cups are stamped on the underside with the 13 ½ loth mark for 840 purity silver, 67 probably for the date 1867, and a maker’s mark of TB. These pieces are either Austro-Hungarian or German in origin.
The cups are in great overall condition considering the age. There are a couple of dents here and there, but this is minor. There are no splits, no breaks, and no repairs.
The cups measure 2 ½ inches in diameter and 2 ½ inches tall.
The weight is 101.2 grams or 3.5 ounces.
