Repoussι Manufacturer Flatware Miscellaneous Coin Silver Foreign Indexes
This web page will be used for drinking vessels of many descriptions as well as various small cups and bowls with liners. The categories will include the basic single-handled Cups, the handle-less Beakers, the stemmed Goblets, the generally larger Presentation Cups of many forms, the Cocktail & Wine Cups which also appear in many forms, and Bouillon, Demitasse & Sherbet Cups which generally have liners of glass or china. In some cases when an object might fit into several of these categories an arbitrary placement has been made. In addition, more of the smaller and later single-handled cups may be found with Baby & Youth Silver. Antique American silver from this web page of Civil War vintage and earlier will also be listed on our Coin Silver Holloware web page together with all holloware from that early period.
If a piece is marked Hold it has been reserved by a customer, if it is marked Paid we have received a check, and if it is marked Sold the transaction has been completed. To examine our latest additions please check out our New Listings. Please use the inventory number during correspondence to help us identify a particular item.
