SUPERB ANTIQUE 18TH / 19THC SPANISH COLONIAL SILVER MOUNTED CARVED COCONUT CUP No.3
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques this week including Tribal art, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and European antiques. I will be listing additional items on Friday 27th so please come back for a look later. PLEASE NOTE: This sale is in GB Pounds Sterling.

This is a fantastic late 18th or early 19th Century Spanish colonial carved coconut cup with solid silver mounts (unmarked but tested). It is one of a collection that I have recently been fortunate enough to acquire and will be selling on so please view my other sales. This type of cup was for drinking chocolate, not the type we are used to now but a very bitter south american preparation and it probably comes from Guatemala. The coconut body of the cup is carved in shallow relief decoration with stylised leaf border around the rim and then a carved flower to each side of the cup each containing an initial - \"J.\" to one side and \"V.\" to the other. The elaborate silver lion handles are fantastic and are certainly a less common feature in these cups. I am selling it at a very low starting price and with - the last photo of the group below shows it alongside the other items which I will be selling separately.

It is my policy not to end standard sales early with a \'buy it now\' and at the end of an sale I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don\'t find what you are looking for. Condition & DimensionsGood overall condition. There are some splits to one side as photographed but these have been stabilised.

It stands about 4.5\" / 1.4cms tall.

Postage & PackingFor your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 8TH JUNE so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for.

Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (Parcelforce) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
