An assortment of silver-plated and white metal items primarily consisting of drinking vessels. The collection features numerous goblets and chalices of varying sizes, with some displaying engraved floral and scrollwork motifs and others featuring plain bowls. Several pieces possess textured or baluster-form stems. The lot also includes a variety of cylindrical and tapered beakers, many of which have gilt-washed (vermeil) interiors. Small trophy cups and items of hollowware are present, including a circular dish or ashtray and a larger bowl base. A small circular dish is engraved with the name FERDINAND DE LESSEPS around a central motif. While several vessels show stamps or marks on their undersides, they are not clearly distinguishable as solid silver hallmarks. The materials appear to be largely electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) given the characteristic blue-grey tarnish. The styles range from 19th-century engraved patterns to simpler 20th-century forms.
