Sterling Silver Tyg Presentation / Champagne Cup by Atkin Brothers - Art Nouveau style - Antique George V (1929)

Description

This exceptional antique George V sterling silver tyg presentation / champagne cup has a plain baluster shaped form onto a circular spreading foot.

The shaped body of this tyg* style cup is plain and unembellished.

This impressive cup is fitted with three C shaped handles incorporating embossed Art Nouveau style thumbpieces and organic shaped upper terminals.

This fine example of George V silverware is fitted to the original, impressive circular oak wood plinth, encircled with a bespoke vacant silver inscription band; the band may be engraved with a personal inscription if so desired.

The upper plateau of the plinth features the inset retailer's panel 'Mappin & Webb Ltd, 158 Oxford St, London'.

This versatile cup is a substantial size and if required could be used as a wine/bottle cooler; with the use of the three handles, this piece could easily be transferred down a dining table.

* A tyg is a large English mug/drinking vessel with three or more handles. The mug was made to be shared, and handed round between several drinkers.
