Vintage Silverplate and Gilded Lion Head Pitcher and Stirrup Cups 5 Piece Set

The king of your barware collection! Step right up and feast your eyes on this 5 piece vintage treasure! First, you have your guilded lion head thick frosted glass pitcher with your beverage of choice being poured straight from the lions mouth spout. Then you have your four silverplated and gold guilded lion head stirrup cups to match.

What's a stirrup cup you ask? "Stirrup cups are a hallowed tradition — and a favorite with riders who participate in foxhunting. These silver receptacles, usually in the form of a fox, stag, dog, or horse's head, are filled with port or sherry and traditionally presented to mounted foxhunters as they wait to set off." - Museum of Hounds & Hunting North America

Believed to have been designed by Carole Stupell and sold in her famous New York Boutique. Don't let this gorgously glam set get away!

The pitcher measures 8" tall and 7" wide (including the handle)
The stirrup cups measure 6" tall and 3" across the opening

Overall the set is in good vintage condition. The stirrup cups do show some vintage wear while the pitcher is quite pristine.
