Description

This handsome sterling silver baby cup is marked 'CW Sterling PK3' on the base and features a bold Art Deco-style square handle with a gilt interior that has aged beautifully. The exterior bears a lovely script engraving reading 'Morris Hamilton' with the date 'Sept 20, 1942,' making this a deeply personal and historically rich piece. The cup shows honest age-appropriate tarnish and surface wear consistent with its 80-plus years of life, but retains excellent structural integrity and charm that any collector or sentimental buyer will adore.

This ornate sterling silver baby spoon is marked 'Gorham Sterling' on the reverse of the handle and features an elaborately embossed Rococo-style handle with scrolling acanthus leaf motifs and a cartouche at the terminal. The bowl shows classic tarnish and patina typical of well-loved sterling pieces, while the handle detail remains crisp and impressive. Gorham is one of America's most prestigious silver manufacturers, and this spoon is a textbook example of their ornamental craftsmanship from the early-to-mid twentieth century.
