DESCRIPTION

Antique 19th Century Austrian solid silver and enamel cup and cover, exceptional quality. The silver gilt cup is beautifully decorated with a multicolor green and blue enamel. The silver base, rim and lid are set with flowers, emeralds and garnets.

Hallmarked Austrian silver (800+ standard, mark used 1867-1922), Maker N&M (unknown to me). The exceptional quality of the workmanship suggests that it might be a one-off piece, created by a great master for an exposition or on commission.
