Stem bowl - julep cup - .800 silver - Cup, 800 silver / vermeil

Elegant truncated-cone goblet in 800 silver, of Italian manufacture. The body is smooth, with the upper rim accentuated by a fluted moulding and a shaped stepped base. The interior is vermeil gold over silver. A classic, sober form, suitable as a collectible goblet, cutlery holder, desk pen holder, or small cachepot. Georgian neoclassical style Stamps: 800 fineness mark in an oval and an Italian identification mark with a lozenge-shaped star (post-1968), [No. 25 AL]. Measurements: height 10 cm, base diameter 10 cm, rim diameter 10.5 cm. Weight: 273 g. Condition: good. Shows normal signs of use and superficial scratches consistent with age, without significant dents. Not polished, to preserve the original patina. The zig-zag mark between the two hallmarks is a 'bulino assay': the assayer scraped off a bit of metal to verify the fineness. It confirms that the piece has been checked as true silver.
