A Lovely Antique Sterling Silver Egg Cup with Gilt Interior and a neat pedestal foot. A twisted rope-style border runs around the rim, giving a crisp decorative finish. The interior is gilded, creating a warm golden contrast to the bright silver exterior. The gilt wash is a traditional detail often used to protect silver surfaces and add visual richness. Hallmarked for Sheffield, 1918.
* It sits nicely on a tray alongside toast racks, salts, and other breakfast silver.
Measurements:
Height: 2" (approx. 5cm)
Diameter (across top): 2" (approx. 5cm)
Silver weight: 42g
In good condition – The egg cup presents well overall, with a stable foot and an attractive profile. There is only light surface wear consistent with age and normal handling. The gilt interior is still bright.
