Spectacular antique Americana-form Chinese Export sterling silver trophy cup (or possibly a massive sugar bowl) with repousse decoration and an eagle knop.
Entirely hand made and hand chased.
Measures about 9" tall and please also see tape measure pics.
Weighs a little over 9 troy ounces on my home postal scale.
Comes from a local Dallas estate.
Probably dates ca. 1875 - 1900. I don't believe it is as recent as the 20th century.
Maker's mark is a tiny "E...T" in capital letters inside a rectangle, struck twice - once on the rim of the bottom and once on the rim of the top. Difficult to photograph because it is so tiny but please see pic #7 and it can be easily read in person with a loupe or magnifier.
No other markings.
Tests as very high content silver, above sterling grade and probably at least 95% silver.
The previous owner had found a little glass bowl that functions *fairly well as a liner for this (pics #11 and #12). It is obviously a 20th century additional piece, but I will include it as it really does fit fairly well. In case you would like to use this sometimes for flowers and at a minimum will help to reduce tarnishing to the interior.
Silver weight of 9+ troy ounces is the silver piece itself, not including the glass liner.
Excellent++ with no actual damage of any sort and virtually no wear. No pings, dings, dents, or disfiguring scratches. No repairs and no missing bits. No monograms or removals. Minor irregularities in the design associated with this being an entirely hand-made piece. All the parts tight and secure with nothing loose. Stands nicely on the tabletop, not crooked and not wobbly. Lid goes on and off easily and fits snugly. Pics are of the actual item offered for sale and show the condition well.
Please check my feedback and buy with confidence. I pack carefully and ship quickly and my Item as Described track record is excellent. Returns accepted with no questions asked in the event of a problem with cash refunds promptly issued.
