Silver Cup with Coat of Arms on It (for Drinks)
Hand-engraved solid silver noble beaker/christening cup, likely French or Swiss
19th C style but made in the 20th C (circa 1920-1950)
Shield features a cross charged with five annulets (rings) - quartered with striped (barry) fields and flanked by laurel branches of honor
Seigneurial coronet surmounts the arms, its fleurons marking the bearer's knightly of landed-gentry rank rather than a title count
Unmarked but weighty silver
Clean neoclassical proportions typical of Louis-Philippe to Second Empire period
Pieces like this were often private family commission or presentation cups, cherished heirlooms of minor nobility (BYOC/christening cup)
Many use them as mint julep cups
