Description
A good example of a small solid silver christening beaker. It is continental, likely French, and is of traditional tapering form with a flared rim and simple engraved floral decoration with a weighted base. It has faint engraved initials M.J. which are likely original. It has been later engraved 'HMB 1859'.
It does not have a full set of traditional hallmarks but has a small punch mark on the bottom rim which is hard to distinguish but is likely an early provincial mark.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
