Antique c1680 Old Continental European Silver Beaker Cup 3 1/4"

Description

Presented is a wonderful old silver beaker made in Continental Europe during the late 17th century. The body of the beaker is engraved, but the engraving is so worn that much of it cannot be made out. There is a monogram of PR just below the rim which is probably original, and there is a monogram of HS farther down that was added later. The beaker was made in the 1680s or 1690s, perhaps as late as the 1720s. It is probably Scandinavian or German in origin.
There is a zigzag assay mark on the bottom of the beaker, and there is a hallmark on one side of the assay mark, but the mark is extremely worn so that it is virtually impossible to make out.
The beaker is in good overall condition. There is some crinkling here and there and a few small dings, but there are no breaks and no repairs.
The beaker is 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 1/4 inches tall.
The weight is 61.2 grams or 2.1 ounces.
