Sterling Silver Stirrup Cup 'Deer’

About the Item

This deer is one of 12 exclusive Serra's sterling silver "stirrup glasses", (weight 360 gr circa ) models date back to around the mid-1900s, and represent 12 animals that can be placed on the table to serve wine. Te Our 12 glasses are now used to be added to other crystal glasses, maybe to serve a special wine! In this difficult historical period for our health, drinking from silver glasses is really a great help: silver is rich in antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that eradicate the bacteria and antibiotic-resistant pathogens. It can be used as a natural disinfectant of any liquid. Silver is a natural immunity booster . Its nanoparticles create an immunomodulatory activity that gives you a healthy immune system. Popular since the late 18th and 19th century, antique silver stirrup cups are a form of drinking vessel which were presented to riders on horseback prior to leaving or arriving home from a hunt; this happened whilst their feet remained in their stirrups. The custom is most commonly English, however Scottish hosts would also offer "a parting cup” to guests that visited on horseback. They called this beverage "dochan doruis" which literally translates to "drink of the door" and this would also be served in a stirrup cup. The glasses are 24 Kt gilded inside.
