An exquisite ensemble of six ice cream or sorbet cups, masterfully crafted from the finest 925/- sterling silver. This magnificent set, created in the golden 1920s and 1930s, embodies the elegance and splendour of a bygone era. Each cup rests on an artfully designed, round, moulded foot, which continues into a short stem that forms the base for the elegant bell-shaped dome. The overhanging curved rim of each cup catches the light in a fascinating way and gives the silver a vibrant lustre.
Decorated with a delicate beaded frieze on the foot rims and mouths, this detail adds a subtle sophistication that is pleasing to the eye. A charming Art Deco monogram at the foot of each mug is testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into making these treasures. Although the maker's marks remain unknown, the design and craftsmanship indicate that this set likely originated in the United States.
In near pristine condition, with only minimal signs of past celebrations, this set is ready to once again become the shining centrepiece of elegant gatherings. It promises to enhance any table with a touch of historic luxury and timeless beauty. A true masterpiece of silversmithing, destined to last for generations and keep the stories of times gone by alive.
