The cup features a generously flared rim, a raised circular base, and a wonderfully aged surface. Its warm metallic tones, irregular texture, and timeworn character provide a beautiful contrast to the crystals. Believed to be brass or bronze, its exact metal composition is unconfirmed. There appear to be markings on the underside, but they have not been identified.

The included beads have small holes at opposite ends, consistent with beads intended for linking into chandelier strands. Display them spilling from the cup, as photographed, or use them for decorative projects.

The cup also makes an attractive dresser or desk accessory for holding loose coins and small keepsakes.

Cup dimensions: 3½ inches high × 4⅛ inches in diameter.
Cup weight: approximately 2½ pounds.
Bead diameter: approximately ½ inch.
Included: one metal cup and more than 1,000 loose crystal beads.

The cup shows surface wear, discoloration, and an aged patina, as pictured. Please review the photographs for surface details. Maker is unknown, however it is believed to be from circa 1950 and from India. See less
