This sterling silver child's cup has singular charm. It stands 2 3/4" high to the lip, has a top opening of 2 3/8" and weighs just over 2.3 T. oz. It has a footed, flat-bottomed base, and a bordered top rim with bead detailing. The unusual feature of the piece is its wire handle that is formed into a slip knot. As well as having design appeal, this element would offer a clever lesson to a growing mind that might wonder just how that knot was formed. The item carries the Simpson, Hall, Mille...

Open salts were a staple on any Victorian table. They were produced in a variety of materials, including glass, ceramic, and as the case with this pair, in silver. No company generated more examples of this form than Gorham. Indeed, the Tompkins book on this subject documents a full century of Gorham's production. According to Tompkins, this set, item number 2480, dates to 1890. These possess a commanding look. They are large, 4 1/2" long, 1 3/4" tall, and weighty, 3.9 T. oz. combined. Th... Click for details

This is an original set as illustrated (see accompanying facsimile, image 3) with the one model numbered A1998 and the smaller ones A4780. They are solid sterling silver, with the single bowl measuring 8 1/4" b... Click for details

Fashioned in an arts and crafts manner, this sterling sugar and creamer set is finely made, heavy, and generously proportioned. For all their merit, they are marked only "sterling," so the maker remains unknown. The style or detail may suggest its origins to someone knowledgeable about such things. Both pieces are ovoid, with tapered bodies and plain sides that are banded on the tops and bottoms. The solid handles are the same dimension as the banding. The outside surfaces show subtle plani...

This cup and saucer combination were made by Gorham. Both pieces carry the lion, anchor, G hallmark, the number 230, and the word Sterling. These read like coin, and may date from Gorham's transition to sterling in 1868. The number suggests a mid 1860's period. They are a handsome matched pair, simply styled and with a crossed ribbon motif that repeats on the rim of the saucer, and lip and handle of the cup. The plate is 5 1/2" in diameter, sits on a 1 5/8" wide rimmed base, and weighs a fu... Click for details
