A coin silver cup (beaker) by Asa Blanchard, Lexington, Kentucky.
Blanchard worked in Lexington from 1807 until his death in 1838. This
nice, heavy example stands just over 3 1/4 inches tall and is rather heavy
at nearly five ounces troy. Exceptionally fine condition with only slight
signs of use. A small bottom rim bump is shown in the photos for the sake
of accuracy. It has been nearly a decade since we have had a cup this nice
by Kentucky's premier early silversmith.
