{"product_id":"vintage-neoclassical-style-silverplate-trophy-cup","title":"Vintage Neoclassical Style Silver Plate Snooker Trophy Cup","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 12 in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636977434902,"sku":"ENM-2064","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-12203.jpg?v=1791573497","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/vintage-neoclassical-style-silverplate-trophy-cup","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
