Patrick Henry Italian Mint Julep Silver Plate Cups Tumbler Beaded Design Set 5
Located in Atlanta, GA
A vintage assembled set of five Italian made Patrick Henry Mint Julep Cups. This vintage set of five cups is the perfect addition to your home bar for everyday cocktails, not just the Mint Julep on May 7th for the Kentucky Derby! But if you'd like to know the history of this cocktail, I'm happy to share this infor from Food and Wine magazine "It's difficult to think of another cocktail that's as intimately tied to a particular event as the Mint Julep is to the Kentucky Derby. Interestingly enough, however, its origins aren't in Kentucky at all, but rather, linguistically at least, in the Middle East. "The Julep's origin and first mentions are in European medicine, which included sugar mixed with herbs, spices, and often, a spirit," explained Jason Foust, Central Regional Ambassador for Angel's Envy. "This made its way to the U.S. and became the first real notable American cocktail. The part of the country you lived in influenced which spirit was used, but the earliest versions included brandy / cognac or rum, and many early versions didn't include mint. It's the first popular cocktail served with ice, as it coincided with the rise of ice houses and the ability to use ice as a 'garnish' in a drink. Some versions included using hailstones and ice from frozen lakes. Ice was still sold in blocks, so bars...

Antique and Vintage Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
