A George III silver twin-handled cup, the classic form partly fluted and engraved 'Ye Loving Cup' and with twin leaf capped handles. Hallmarked London 1774, the maker probably Charles Wright. Height measuring 7 1/4 inches (18.5 cm), weight 20.5 ozt (640 grams).
The lot displays general scratches, marks wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Engravings removed from both sides, the silver feels particularly thin. Hallmarks somewhat distorted to the underside.
