This appears to be a vintage alpaca silver beaker or tumbler, featuring a clean tapered form accented by an applied neoclassical cartouche motif. The decorative oval medallion framed by delicate foliate ornamentation gives the piece an elegant European feel and would have originally been intended for monogramming.
The base is marked “ALPACCA,” indicating that it is made of alpaca silver (also known as nickel silver or German silver), an alloy containing nickel, copper, and zinc rather than sterling silver. Its softly aged patina and simple silhouette make it a versatile decorative piece.
