| Wood & Hughes Child's Cup |
|
Sterling Silver Childs Cup; Wood & Hughes cr 1885-90 (American). The hollow handle is
decorated w/the Aesthetic vocabulary and the interior is gold washed. Bright cut twigs and
leaves create and oppose a central reserve engraved W A E in script above Dec. 26. ’87. The
essence of the cup is that it resembles nothing so much as a Campbell soup can stripped of its
paper label as a euphemism for the unstated remark, ‘I approve of poor babies, but I’m not one.”
Height 2 ¾”
Width to handle, 3 ¾”
Weight.2.8 Troy oz
