This lidded trophy was made of 800 silver around 1878 in Germany. It has a blossom-like base with relief and a handle with two nodes and a cup with open-worked clover decorations. The front shows an engraved dedication and year. It reads ‘Der Liederkranz bei seiner goldenen Jubelfeier seinem Director zu seiner silbernen 15. Februar 1878’ [TR: The Liederkranz at Golden Wedding Anniversary – To its Director, 15th February 1878’]. The cup and lid are fire-gilded on the inner side. The lid is much larger than the trophy; it shows a fluted bordure and an elongated nub with another node.

The base is hallmarked ‘800’, ‘M’ and the master’s mark ‘H & Co.’ The trophy is in good condition with slight age-related signs of wear; the trophy shows a slight tinge and partial scratching. The trophy is 26.5 cm high and weighs 215.95 g.
