A stunning set of 3 vintage heavy silver-plated Julep cups by Webster Wilcox. These vintage Julep cups are simply lovely. They are solid/heavy in weight and well-crafted. They feature 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
This set comes with 3 cups
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: Each cup measures just shy of 4 1/4" tall and the diameter is a tad of 3 1/4" -- please note: Webster Wilcox made several variations of this vintage Julep cup, so if trying to matching existing cups, please make certain this is the style and size you're looking for.
Hallmarks: Each cup has the "Webster Wilcox" etched on the bottom along with "IS" (International Silver Co.)
Condition: Great vintage condition. One cup still has its original blue and silver foil sticker on the bottom. There's some mild tarnish (we have not polished this set) on two slightly more than the third cup. The cups themselves are in very good shape. The silver-plating is vibrant. Any gold hue you see is from the camera's flash; these cups are all a vibrant silver. There's minor general age/surface wear from past handling, how they might have been stored, etc. Overall, this set displays beautifully and have a magical feel to them.
