Antique Gorham Edwardian Sterling Silver Boy’s Expedition Baby Cup

Creator: Gorham Manufacturing Co.
Offered by: Nelson and Nelson Antiques

Description
Edwardian sterling silver pictorial baby cup. Made by Gorham in Providence, ca 1920. Straight sides and reeded c-scroll handle. Interior gilt washed. On underside engraved interlaced script monogram.

Chased scene of boy’s procession marching single file: The cavalry, in the person of a hop-a-long hobby-horse rider, follows a bugle-blowing hobo, who is preceded by a solitary representative of the flag corps, who in turn is just a few steps behind the drummer. An expedition under the leadership of a diminutive rifleman. The picket fence in the background suggests they’ll all be home in time for dinner.

Fully marked including maker’s stamp and no. A4708. Very good condition.

Dimensions: H 2 3/4 x W 4 1/4 x D 3 1/8 in. Weight: 3 troy ounces. #CB648
