Lovely and early sterling silver cup or beaker that has done some traveling, with intricate decorative engraving around the upper slightly flaring rim and above the foot, weighing 5.01 troy ounces and measuring 3 7/8 inches high and 2 7/8 inches in diameter at the opening and 2 7/8 inches in diameter at the foot, with a worn London, England lion head erased and Britannia mark and then confusingly overstruck on the maker mark and date letter area with several Continental European marks - a key and crown mark (18th century Leuven or Louvain, Belgium?), a mark with Fleur de Lis and another very double struck mark - these three Continental marks leaving just a hint of the original date letter which appears to be a sharp triangular shape from the London 1697 to 1706 range - 1697, 1703, 1705 (my pick) or 1706.  There are several small cracks on the foot which have to do with the making of the piece(see photo) and a few tiny dings on the body and around the rim, otherwise in good antique condition.  With two scratch inventory notes on the base - "460 E-CE/-R" and "45 CE/-".
