£2,250.00

An exceptional antique Victorian English sterling silver wager cup; an addition to our diverse collection of novelty silverware

SKU C8889

This exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian silver wager cup, in sterling standard, has a bell-shaped form.


The body of the cup is embellished with impressive chased leaf and floral decoration, incorporating three opposing scrolling leaf decorated cartouches; each cartouche bears a scene depicting a structural design.


The upper portion of the body is encompassed with a band of chased leaf textures.


The body is surmounted with an impressive cylindrical boss ornamented with applied scrolling designs, to an impressive terminal realistically modelled in the form of a windmill.


This cast whimsical windmill is embellished with details replicating the shingled roof, wood grain walls and the cockerel decorated weather vane.


This circular shaped upper portion is further embellished with cast figural ornaments in addition to a protruding tapering cylindrical pipe style mouthpiece, which when pushed air through causes the windmill blades to turn.


Such specially commissioned examples are rare to the market; this novelty wager cup is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.


Maker: Thomas Glaser

Date: 1887
