Antebellum New Orleans Coin Silver Cup

Antebellum New Orleans Coin Silver Cup

third quarter 19th century, by Adolphe Himmel (1825-1877) for Hyde & Goodrich, of waisted cylindrical form above a repousse laurel-and-ribbon band and milled beaded band, with flat foot-ring and simple curved handle, engraved with later presentation inscription "Uriah W. Rosenthal / Shewath 26 5661 / From his / God Mother".
h. 4", dia. 2-7/8", l. 3-3/4"; 5.67 t. oz.

Notes: The inscription here is to Uriah (later Irwin) William Rosenthal (1901-1975), New Orleans attorney and son of William and Bertha Solomon Rosenthal. He was born on February 15, 1901, which corresponds to the Hebrew Sh'vat 26, 5661 as inscribed on the cup.
Condition Report: **Silver solder repair where the handle meets the body at the top, with a half-inch-long area of silver solder about an inch below that, and suggesting that the handle is probably a later replacement. Otherwise in good used condition, with the expected patina of age, but no dents, breaks or other repairs. Marked, on the underside, "Hyde & Goodrich / H / New Orleans".
