About the Item

A striking example of late Victorian or early Art Nouveau design, this multi-handled Tyg—also known as a Loving Cup—combines vibrant dark green glass with elaborate silver overlay decoration. An engraved central cartouche bearing the letter S suggests a personalized or commemorative purpose, indicating this piece was intended for display or presentation rather than daily use. Elegant and richly detailed, it reflects the 19th-century fascination with craftsmanship, ornament, and the shared ritual of the toast. The markings at the base indicate American manufacture during the height of the silver overlay period (circa 1890–1920). The word “PATENTED” confirms use of a U.S. patented electroplating process, while “G351” likely denotes a factory or design number. The term “FINE” refers to the high purity of the silver used in the overlay, though not necessarily solid sterling. Taken together, these marks point to production by a leading American silver overlay firm—such as Gorham, Alvin, Rockwell, or Silver City—active in the late 19th to early 20th century. CONDITION: The bottom of the cup shows evidence of an internal fracture (a sub-surface crack)
