Decorative silver-plated goblet or chalice-style cup
Estimated Value
$40-$150
A highly decorative goblet or chalice-style vessel with a flared rim, tapered body, and pedestal foot. The exterior is richly ornamented with raised floral and foliate motifs, including prominent leaf clusters and berry-like forms in relief. The design suggests a revivalist decorative style rather than a plain utilitarian drinking vessel. The polished upper section contrasts with the darker, oxidized recessed areas that emphasize the relief work. No maker's mark or hallmarks are visible in the provided image, so precise attribution is uncertain.
