About the Item
A fine and impressive antique English sterling silver mounted coconut cup; an addition to our diverse silverware collection.
This impressive antique sterling silver mounted coconut cup has a circular rounded form onto a circular pedestal foot.

The plain coconut vessel surmounts a fine and impressive turned mahogany wood pedestal and circular foot.

Note: Coconut cups were popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries as it was believed that the shell of the coconut would act as a natural defence against poison.
