Fantastic Hoare Snail and Gorham Rimmed Loving Cup – SOLD

This is one of the best loving cups I’ve ever had the chance to offer – it’s done in Hoare’s Snail pattern with a fantastic Gorham top that aligns perfectly with the handles.

The snail design is a great combination of cutting and engraving. Huge scalloped, swirling “snail” motifs adorn a majority of the pattern with tiny polished engraving in the rest of the spaces. Three giant handles, quintuple-nothced- adorn the piece and the Gorham rim. The base is covered with a hobstar.

Loving cups like this don’t come up often, and even fewer show up with intact handles. It’s in perfect condition with just some minor scratching on the base (only adding to it’s authenticity).  Measure 6 3/4″ tall, and 6″ handle to side and approximately 8″ handle to handle.
