A lovely set of 4 vintage silver-plated (EPNS or Electroplated Nickel Silver) Julep cups by Leonard, circa 1960s. Heavier in weight, these cups have a solid feel to them. The design features a series of etched lines at the top of the cup as well as the bottom and a slightly tapered shape. Why not sip your Mint Julep from this stunning vintage Julep cup?! Cheers.
Maker: Leonard
Measurements: 4" tall x 3" in diameter
Hallmarks: "Leonard" and "EPNS" can be found on the bottom of the cups
Condition: Good vintage condition overall with mild but noticeable signs of age and wear. We like to be thorough when it comes to the exact condition of our vintage items, so here's a full summary:
1) All cups show general age and what we refer to as general surface wear
2) Some of the cups have small "age spots" where the brass is peaking through where the silver-plating has worn away (one cup has a small spot in the interior and another cup has a small spot on the exterior) -- see photos #1, #2, and #10
3) One cup's brass is peaking through where the silver-plating has worn away near the rim (see photo #5)
4) Please note: the etched lines on these cups can vary slightly (some slightly lower or ever so slightly higher than the other cups) -- purely the nature of this particular vintage Julep cup brand
In short, this cups are in good vintage condition overall but do show signs of age as well as some wear to the silver-plating where the brass is peaking through. They display beautifully. Cheers.
