Set of 3 Vintage Silver-Plate Fox Head Stirrup Cups with Gilt Interiors — 3.25" — English Hunt Tradition
A truly spectacular set of three vintage silver-plate fox head stirrup cups — among the most coveted and collectible pieces in the world of antique barware. Each cup features a beautifully detailed cast fox head with pricked ears, glass amber eyes, an open mouth, and richly textured fur, all mounted atop the classic inverted bell-form cup. The interiors are finished with a warm amber gilt wash that glows beautifully against the silver exterior.
Stirrup cups in the fox head form are deeply rooted in English hunt tradition — passed among riders before the hunt, they are as much a symbol of ceremony as they are a drinking vessel. A matched set of three is a rare and desirable find. Display them on a bar cart, a hunt-themed shelf, or use them as the conversation-starting shot glasses they were born to be.
