A Timeless Corporate Artifact from the Mid-Century Era

Own a piece of American history and industrial heritage with this exquisite set of four Steiff Pewter Jefferson Cups. Based on the specific engraving style and hallmarks, this set dates to the mid-1950s, offering a sophisticated blend of 18th-century design and mid-century corporate prestige.

The Pedigree
Each cup is meticulously engraved with:
“E. I. DUPONT DE NEMOURS & COMPANY ESTABLISHED 1802”
These were likely commissioned as high-end commemorative gifts or executive awards for the DuPont company, adding a layer of provenance that collectors of industrial Americana or Delaware history will find irresistible.

These cups have been beautifully preserved and remain in wonderful vintage condition.
Patina: They currently sport a soft, authentic pewter patina that highlights their age. While they are free of serious corrosion, a thorough polishing would easily restore them to a bright, mirror-like luster if desired.
Hallmarks: The underside of each cup is clearly marked: "Authentic Reproduction Jefferson Cup, Steiff Pewter P-50."
Integrity: Structurally sound with no major dents or deep scarring.

Why the Jefferson Cup?
The original design was commissioned by Thomas Jefferson in 1806. Its low center of gravity and rounded bottom make it the perfect vessel for everything from a classic mint julep to a sophisticated desk accessory for paperclips or fine spirits.
