what are the markings on? Looks like a silver cup or stein.

Looks like a small castle in the markings. I wonder if it could be English or British?

Upier those are the makers mark and the kings crown which if i remember correctly means they are the silver smiths to the king. You should be able to go on line and type in silver markings and find it.That is a gorgeous piece . I would not clean it any more. The scratches on the inside are not good and try to really be carefull . that cup could be worth a fortune. Congratulations and be carefull with it.

Upier, I found a site,http://freespace.virgin.net/a.data/dateletters/exet/exetframe.htm also try the edinburgh site. the three castles represents the edinburgh castles on the cup crest. Very nice.

thank you very much for your help
comcast is having issues in my area again, so i am having problems doing Any research

but on the sight you listed gave the date in the 1800's .. i do not think the cup could be that old.

but a bit more about it .. the cup appears to be cast. as grind marks are visable on the sides where it appears a seam was smoothed out upon manufacturing. and the lettering on the bottom appears to me to read C&Co then the castle stamp then EP
but i may be way off base with that as my old English is not up to par. may even be D&Do ?
the cup's weight " am guessing 5 maybe 6 oz in weight so at least $20 in silver value.

with my luck they will probably turn out to be some sacrificial blood drinking cup hehe. :-

and they want the cup back

Holy Grail! Er...Um...I mean holy cow that's nice.

Look's like some type of "Chalice"(Sp) Kind of similiar to the one's i have seen used for communion.
I'd get a antique price guide like Covel's or Kobel's? To early for me still on my first cup of coffee......
I'm sure there are some guides at the library. Seem's like i saw something like it on Antique's Roadshow that was valued around 1,500.00 to 2,000.00.... with a story about how in the early day's during the Civil war, the churche's used to bury or hide the good stuff for fear of it being stolen. You might do a bit of research on the area see if you can find out about any churche's that used to be close, I'd re-check that spot real well, might be more? Great Find........Hope you find more?

Just to add my 2 bits - I'm sorry to contradict Jim but it is the mark is for Corbell & Company - the company was established in London in 1946 and then moved to Los Angeles in 1951. They still have a web site and sell their silver plated goblets for about $170

You particular goblet is called a Tea Goblet and you find a photo of a identical one on Replacements.com
