More Information On Silver Beakers

Sterling silver beakers have changed little in design since the 15th century, the cylindrical, tapering form and flared rim probably derived from early examples made from horn. Silver beakers made in the 16th and early 17th centuries were often plain in style, with bands of decoration, stylized flowers, foliage and arabesques being popular at the time. During the latter parts of the 17th century, antique silver beakers became more ornate, featuring embossed or chased floral work, and frequently engraved with armorials, crests or initials. Victorian beakers are the most lavishly decorated, typically featuring ornate engraved decoration, accompanying chased fluting or floral work.

Antique silver beakers are rare before the mid 16th century, and examples of early beakers are highly collectable. In the Metropolitan Museum of Art a priceless 4th century BC example of a Thraco–Geti style silver beaker can be seen.
