VERY RARE Antique Victorian Coin Silver Floral Christening Cup Mid 1800’s. This is a very rare and beautiful piece and was a wonderful Christening gift for Thomas. It is intricately crafted with beautifully detailed flowers. Just short of 3 1/2 inches in height, it has a diameter of 3 1/4 inches at the top, and weighs 154.3 grams. This is in excellent condition and there is the appropriate amount of wear and patina associated with its age. Please feel free to ask any questions or request additional pictures. Silversmith Robert Rait was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1807, and was listed as a Jeweler, Silversmith, and Retailer in New York City from 1833. He passed away in 1869. His brother appears to have been David Crichton Rait, a well-known silversmith in Scotland. This mark is interesting because the R. Rait is stamped over another mark. They also worked exclusively for Tiffany & Company after 1851. In 1868 silver laws were passed requiring silver to be marked Sterling or 925, or Coin. Before that year it wasn’t as regulated, and coin silver was often not marked as such. Coin silver is less pure than sterling, but can be up to 90 percent silver. Check out this one by the same company, but a few years later while working for Tiffany & Co..
