A two-handled silver plate trophy cup on a stemmed foot, engraved for a snooker doubles competition. It's the sort of cup a club handed to a winning pair and kept in the cabinet afterward. The rope-twist rim and beaded foot are what I like most, and the engraving makes it a conversation piece on a shelf or bar.

Good condition. There is light surface scratching to the base disc and a few small dark spots low in the interior, which looks like age toning. The interior has toned with age and I have not described it as gilt, as I can't establish that it was ever gilded. The handles are secure and I see no dents or repairs. The plating is that of an EPNS piece with age-appropriate signs of use that do not detract.

Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage

Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.

We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.

Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.

Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate.
