A cup made for LOVERS! Antiques Quiz (Ep15)

Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair is located in the beautiful Somerset countryside and is always well worth the drive! I’m with Howard Emmerson from Class Antiques who is a regular exhibitor at the IACF Fairs around the UK (link to fair locations below) Howard is a specialist in fine silver antiques and you can find him at the fairs or on Instagram
In this quiz, we’re going to look at a very special solid silver loving cup or marriage cup…made in London in 1771…just before the American War of Independence! We love our history here at David Harper Antiques TV! How much do you think this antique silver loving cup is worth? …take a guess and let me know how close you got?

Love a nice piece of Silver!

George III loving cup from 1771. Probably worth less than it ought to be. L250 in silver weight at least. I'd have guessed 650, so low but not impossibly so. The price is probably silver weight x2 - pathetic in the grand scheme of things, but there it is.
