This antique Sterling silver glass weighs 91g and measures 3.12 inches high and 2.25 inches wide (at the top). Referred to by silversmiths as 'becher', derived from German, silver glasses offer a statement of luxury and are complementary pieces of silver tableware that have been produced throughout history in different designs ranging from plain sterling silver to ornately rim chased or with engraving throughout. They have been produced with exotic repoussé or intaglio engravings in Renaissance, Rococo and Neo-classical styles, often accompanied by a matching plate and used not only as drinking glasses but also as ornamental objects, and continue to be popular in contemporary and traditional designs. This antique Sterling silver glass is artfully chased with delicate floral sprays and scrolls around the upper rim and asymmetrically themed profiles at the bottom, enriched with stripe-motif textured silver. This Sterling silver glass is stamped with the maker's initials 'JC' and trademark within a floral motif cartouche and numbered 3A.
