Set of 4 American Sterling Silver Tumbler Cups

Sold
  • New York, circa 1970 by Tiffany and Company
  • Dimensions: 3 1/4 inches tall, 3 inches in diameter

The name “tumbler” is traced to the mid – 17th Century. A tumbler is a stem-less, often flat-bottomed drinking vessel which is typically taller than 3 inches. When filled with wine, this curved and heavier base allowed the cup to tumble from side to side without spilling.

This is a very attractive set of 4 American Sterling Silver Tumbler Cups that are quite elegant in style.
