About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique European silver mounted coconut drinking cup; an addition to our diverse silverware collection.
This exceptional antique silver mounted coconut cup has a circular rounded form onto a circular pedestal foot.
The upper portion of the cup is encircled with an impressive, applied silver border to the rim accented with bands of tooled decoration above a shaped border in junction with the drinking vessel.
The antique coconut drinking cup is embellished with exceptional finely carved circular medallion style patterns, incorporating a diaper pattern design and sunburst motif.
The coconut vessel surmounts a fine and impressive knopped pedestal and circular foot; the upper portion is ornamented with a shaped border, reflecting the design to the upper rim.
