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 cup.
We have another vintage Julep cup by this maker, if you'd like a pair. Please see other listings!
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 3/4" wide -- please note: Webster Wilcox made this cup over a number of years that included slightly different variations where the measurements (height/width) can vary. If trying to matching existing cups, please make certain this is the size you're looking for.
Hallmarks: "Webster Wilcox IS International Silver Co 425" etched on the bottom
Condition: Very 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 is clean and in good shape
3) There's a scrape/scratch on the bottom of the cup
In short, this cup is in very good vintage condition. It displays beautifully.
