Literature: Coconuts were prized in early times for their healing powers and drinking vessels were often formed from them. The coconut cup is a variety of standing cup, made and used in Europe in the 15th and 16th Century, with a revival in Georgian England. Usually they have a pedestal foot or 3 ornamental feet and are mounted in silver or Old Sheffield plate.

This collectible cup is in very good condition. The coconut has a good finish and does not leak. Stamped underneath the foot with a full set of English silver hallmarks. Small dink to the top rim.
