It has a soul....and presence !!!

 

Looks Asian - Chinese?

 

He did think that, but is not really sure as so many peoples had iron pots.

 

Hi there, I was just curious to know what this is I found it in a box of old dishes in our storage shed

 

Iron Man had Pepper Potts........if that means anything...

 

looks like a drinking cup.

 

Can you show us the bottom and any markings anywhere on it?

 

close up of decoration.

 

A drinking cup eh?? Lol wow I never would have guessed you would use such a thing to consume liquid, that is the most fascinating thing I've heard of in ages.

 

May be a julip cup. Where are you located?

 

See how much one can learn here...............

 

The closer you look the better it gets.....
Am I seeing bird & snake designs ??

 

Yeah there's no markings on it and yeah it looks like it is a Julip Cup, those dishes belonged to my late grandmother who lived in Kentucky for most of her life .

 

Well, there you go. It's even got your family initial on it. Given you family's geographical history, I'm a bit surprised you did not recognize it.

BTW it's likely to be silver plated. (Not guaranteed, but I think good odds.)

 

I can see where you think it is snake like, but no, not a snake decoration.

 

oh Lord, more Hoard.

 

And.....

 

Ooooo, Owned - LOTS of pretties!

 

Yes many pretties, congrats.

 

Oh yus. After a break of three weeks, five car boot sales this weekend. Fly was more than I'd normally pay, but I think it's fab. The amethyst and pearl bracelet was about 70 cents. Modern, but nice. Wee art nouveau brooch about two dollars. The matt gold pieces are museum replicas of Colombian bits, chap was closing down his business.
