Silver Sunday, Cup and Sugar Spoons

This silver cup is one of my very favorite pieces.

It is made by James Tufts in Boston, probably around the turn of the century - he was out of business by 1915.

It is inscribed with the name Jimmie.

The women on the handle has incredible detail.

I keep my collection of sugar spoons in the cup.

The art nouveau styles are my favorite.

Some of these are monogrammed as well.

  8. there is something suspicious going on with silver in this city. it disappears between the time it is donated and then never shows up in the stores. except for platters which are ridiculously cheap.
