A lovely set of four (4) vintage silver-plated Julep cups by Sheridan Silversmiths. These cups feature the traditional "footed" base and tapered design. The patina on this set is gorgeous. Truly a stunning and well-crafted vintage set.
Please note: we have another set of 4 of these cups, if you're interested in a larger set. Please see other listings. Cheers!
Measurements: Each cup is 4" tall x 3 1/4" in diameter
Maker: Sheridan
Hallmarks: "Sheridan Silversmiths LTD S.P. Brass" (aka silver-plated over brass) can be found on the bottom of each cup along with their logo (a Lion)
Condition: Good vintage condition overall but with a few noticeable signs of age including a magical patina. Here's a full summary:
1) These cups have quite a bit of patina (if you're looking for a set that doesn't have tarnish/patina, please see our other Julep cups listings)
2) The interiors of the cups show mild age and also quite a bit of tarnish - see photo #5
4) The exterior bottoms are in good shape overall but also show mild age and one cup has a tiny extra "bump" of silver-plating on the bottom (pinhead size), purely a manufacturing occurrence
In short, these Julep cups are in good vintage condition with mild signs of age and quite a bit of patina. They display beautifully. Truly a lovely set.
*If you plan on polishing these please note: we recommend a silver polish and soft cloth. We never ever recommend a liquid silver "dip" as it's too harsh on a vintage silver-plated item such as this.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery. If purchasing multiple pieces, we'll combine shipping to a single box (or as few boxes as possible) and will automatically reimburse you for all shipping overages paid.
****Important to note pre-purchase: Buyers, please examine all photos carefully as we cannot accept returns due to the fragile nature (the possibility of breakage or damage when being shipped back) of our vintage/antique pieces. Our items are true vintage pieces that might have manufacturers flaws, flaws from age, or imperfections in general from being vintage. We try to explain the condition/description in an accurate and thorough manner but we ask that you please examine all photos carefully and ask all questions before purchasing an item as we are unable to accept returns due to the risk of breakage/damage.
