AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of elegant Portuguese silver chalices, contrasted with the Lisbon Crown assay mark, corresponding to a fineness of 833 thousandths. Manufacturing work attributed to Manuel dos Santos, presenting classic and balanced lines, with a turned stem and a cut base of traditional inspiration.

The sobriety of the design, allied with the quality of the finish, places these pieces in Portuguese production in the first half of the nineteenth century, ca. 1822–1843

Pieces with good presence, ideal both for decorative use and for collection.
