This antique Victorian goblet and tie pin set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The bright cut engraved decoration is all very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the goblet and part hallmarks to the underside of the foot are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.

The hallmarks to the underside of the bat are clear, however obscured by the construction.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of Victorian silverware.
