Lot 275: A Set of Silver-Plated Liqueur Cups in a Fitted Presentation Case
A set of stemmed liqueur or cordial cups, crafted from a white metal showing significant yellowish tarnish. Each cup features an etched floral and foliate pattern to the bowl, resting on a slender stem and circular foot. The set is presented in its original or period-fitted case, featuring a blue velvet and satin interior. No hallmarks or maker’s marks are visible, suggesting they may be silver-plated base metal, a style frequently associated with mid-20th-century Indian manufacture.
Condition report:
The cups show heavy surface tarnish and oxidation, requiring cleaning. The presentation box exhibits some external wear, including scuffing and minor fraying to the fabric edges.
