About the Item

This rare and unique quadruple silver-plated tea cup was created in the late 1880's by the West Silver Company out of Taunton, Mass. This stunningly unusual cup shows hand-inscribed stars in the background with a bird that wraps beautifully around the cup. The creative details are very unusual for this period, making this cup an extremely favorable piece to add to a collection or to a presentation grouping on a table or shelf.
