This elegant loving cup stands on a domed circular base and has a large urn-shaped body with three architecturally shaped handles. The body is decorated with three vacant shield-shaped cartouches embellished with bellflowers and bowed paterae at intervals. The rim and base of the cup are both decorated with borders of geometric designs and small flowers, along with a band of dentil molding. The handles are also trimmed with bellflowers. All of the decoration is unified and compliments the strong silhouette of this design. This loving cup is in excellent condition, and has not been monogrammed though it could be engraved. This piece is superbly crafted and is very heavy gauge silver. It measures approx. 12” high, its opening is approx. 9 1/4” in diameter, and it weighs approx. 71 troy ounces. It is marked under the base with the maker’s mark of Tiffany & Co., the words Makers, Sterling Silver 925-1000, pattern number 16603F1, order number 6931, the letter M for John C. Moore, Tiffany’s president from 1907-1947. This beautiful antique silver loving cup is truly a classic interpretation of the Adams style, and would make a distinctive addition to any interior.
