A WONDERFUL GEORGIAN SET FROM THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY. WITH EACH STILL IN GREAT CONDITION TOO.

A LOVELY, MATCHING SET OF 4. ALL BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED & READY TO SET OUT AT THE TABLE & ENJOY YOUR BOILED EGGS IN REAL RADIANCE & STYLE.

THE INSIDES HAVE BEEN TREATED TO A VERY RICH GOLD COATING. PRODUCED BY THE GEORGIANS VIA A PROCESS CALLED \'MERCURY\' GILDING.
THIS GIVES OFF A MUCH DEEPER, GOLDEN GLOW THAN THE MORE MODERN ELECTRO GILDING.

EACH EGG CUP SITS UPON A \'STEPPED\' CIRCULAR FOOT, WITH A HOLE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BASE FOR MOUNTING ON AN EGG FRAME IF YOU WISH.

ABOVE THIS IS THE SHORT, PEDASTAL STEM, LEADING TO THE SUPERB, TAPERED CUPS.

EACH IS TOPPED WITH A \'LOBED\' RIM & MOUNTED WITH A SILVER FILLED \'SHELL\' PATTERN BORDER.

THE SILVER SURFACES SHINE SUPERBLY WELL & ARE SMOOTH. CONTRASTING WELL WITH THE RICH GOLD COATING UPON THE INSIDES.

THERE ARE SOME MARKS / WEAR FROM THEIR AGE. WITH COPPER & LEAD BLEEDING THROUGH IN PLACES. BUT ALL 4 ARE STILL IN VERY NICE ORDER.

A BEAUTIFUL GEORGIAN SET FOR THE COLLECTOR.

SIZE & WEIGHT :

EACH EGG CUP MEASURES 6.4 CM DIAMETER AT THE TOP RIM & 4 CM DIAMETER AT THE FOOT.
