Stem Cup
A footed silver cup with a flared bowl and a baluster-shaped stem. Engraved scrolls and lotus-like blossoms with finely stippled ground fill the bowl, and a band of small triangles decorates the foot ring. The surface shows wear and some rim damage.
Look closer: A band of small triangles is engraved around the foot ring just above the base.
