CARNATION Nouveau 950 Sterling Silver Julep Wine Cup French Belle Epoque NO MONO

Description

I am listing a collection of silver items as seen in the last photo so please see my other offerings and check back!
ABOUT:
Beautiful and sturdy Art Nouveau julep cup, tumbler or wine glass in really excellent condition with applied carnation flowers on one side.  The floral details were applied on to the cup, making it a nice thick piece of silver, it is not repousse or pressed.
NO MONOGRAM
This is a French antique piece.  It is hallmarked and made of .950 (better than Sterling) Silver.
Elegant floral victorian design on one side of the cup.  Nice and sturdy hand feel on the piece
which
has held its shape especially well.
HALLMARKS:
Marked with the French Minerve head hallmark for .950 sterling silver around the rim and a tiny maker's mark on the underside that says AD with an image in between that I could not identify.
CONDITION DETAILS:
In estate condition considering age but it has held its shape really well.  The rim and base are still perfectly rounded.  No deep pin dings or sharp dents.  There are a few very shallow impressions on the side here or there and some nicks to the base from contact with the table but it sits sturdily.   Still a very sturdy piece with many years left.
But my disclaimer as with all my estate items -
Please see photos closely as this is not a mint condition item.
MEASUREMENTS:
Cup measures 2 3/4 inches diameter from rim to rim, slightly tapered with a base that measures 2 1/8 inches. It is 3 3/8 inches tall.  Weight is 96 grams.
Thanks for stopping by my store!
