Towle Silverplate Goblet with Bird Motif | Vintage Pedestal Wine Cup

A sculptural vintage goblet by Towle, finished in polished silverplate with a softly contrasting scenic band featuring a bird and foliage motif.

The form is classic and composed — a reflective chalice-shaped cup rising from an ornate pedestal base cast with dense floral relief. What gives this piece its appeal is the contrast in surface: bright polished silverplate above, a quieter decorative band at center, and a richly textured base below.

Likely produced in the late 20th century, it reflects the decorative giftware tradition of the period while still feeling timeless on a shelf, bar, or layered table.

A handsome accent with just enough detail to make it interesting.
