Description
Late 18th-Century English Antique Coconut Cup
A late 18thC English antique coconut cup.
Probably made by a sailor to while-away the time whilst at sea, we are delighted to offer for sale this cup. The bowl is formed from a coconut, the upper rim is decorated with dentil-type carving with three small dots formed by gouge carving. The rest of the external surface is carved with a decorative band with a mix of rosettes presented within roundels, each connected by a carved circle. A horizontal linear carved line flanks the band from above and below.
The bowl is mounted on a hand-carved base with a flared rim.
Provenance – Unknown.
Condition – Good as per the images. There is some surface wear commensurate with age.
Size – Height 14 cm (5 1/2″)
