George III silver goblet
2329
Handmade antique silver wine goblet from the early 19th century, featuring a hand-engraved cartouche and decorated simply with a reeded border and its original gilt wash interior.
With its flat base, thin stem and conical bowl, the basic goblet shape has remained almost entirely unchanged in its form for centuries.
In the mid-fifteenth century the gentry owned goblets crafted in silver. Superstitious drinkers in the seventeenth century believed that precious metals promoted better health, and so the demand for silver goblets increased. The arrival of silver plate in the mid 1800s meant that more people could afford to introduce a bit of luxury into their lifestyle.
