Early 20th Century Hammered Sterling Sorbet Dishes
Singular Glass- 3.25" H x 3.5" D
Elegant and refined, this set of six sterling silver and etched glass dessert cups brings a touch of timeless sophistication to any table. Each cup features a hand-hammered sterling base stamped “Sterling” with a delicate classical border pattern and a removable etched glass liner. The glass bowls are beautifully detailed with a continuous swirling scroll design, a motif popular in early 20th-century fine dining service.
These pieces were crafted for serving chilled desserts, sorbets, or fruits, reflecting the early 1900s tradition of elaborate table presentation and craftsmanship. The pairing of gleaming sterling silver and intricate glass etching captures both luxury and restraint, making this set equally at home in formal entertaining or as part of a curated display of antique tableware.
Condition:
The set is in very good antique condition. The sterling bases retain a bright, lightly polished patina with subtle surface wear consistent with age. The etched glass inserts are free from chips, cracks, or repairs and fit securely into their bases. Each base is marked “Sterling.” Please refer to the photos for additional details
