A lovely vintage heavy silver-plated Julep cup by Webster Wilcox, 1940s. This vintage Julep cup has a magical feel to it and is very heavy in weight. It features the traditional "footed" base and tapered design and a "beaded" design on the upper and lower part of the cup. Truly a stunning set.
Maker: Webster Wilcox
A bit about this maker: The Wilcox Silver Plate Co. (1867-c. 1980) was formed in Meriden, Connecticut. From 1865 to 1867, it was known as the Wilcox Brittania Co. In 1898, the company was acquired by the International Silver Company, headquartered in Meriden. After the acquisition, the Wilcox Silver Plate Co. brand continued until 1980.
Measurements: 4 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide
Hallmarks: "Webster Wilcox IS International Silver Co 425" etched on the bottom
Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age. We like to be thorough when it comes to our vintage pieces/sets, so here's a full summary:
1) There's general what we refer to as "surface wear" (that can include micro fine scratches, noticeable scrapes, etc) from past handling or how the cups were stored
2) The interior has several darker ages spots (see photos 38 and #9)
3) There's a tiny ding that was impossible to capture in a photo (see photo #10 where our finger is pointing)
In short, this cup is in good vintage condition but does show signs of age/wear and a small ding.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery.
