A refined example of Victorian-era craftsmanship, this late 19th century horn cup is both utilitarian and commemorative.

Tapered in form and measuring 2.75 inches wide by 4.5 inches high, the cup features a warm natural horn body elegantly banded with sterling silver at the rim and base.

A shield-shaped silver cartouche engraved with the initials "J.C." and dated "July 3rd, 1878" lends historical intrigue, suggesting it was likely a personal gift or presentation piece. The base is fitted with a clear glass bottom, a feature often found in hunting or ceremonial cups of the period. A handsome addition to any collection of antique barware or gentleman's accessories.
