A narrow band at the top marks where it joins the cast head below. The head is detailed with deeply chased fur, almond eyes and upright pointed ears, so when the cup is turned over it becomes a small sculpture. This is a stirrup cup. It was traditionally handed up to riders already in the saddle before setting off, and since it has no foot it can't be put down until it's empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is in good vintage condition, with light scratches and wear from use to the smooth bowl and a bright finish on the head. It's ready for a toast again, or to stand head-up on a bar cart, a bookshelf or a desk as a conversation piece. It suits a study, a library or a country-style room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHound stirrup cup: a vintage 1960s–70s Italian silver-tone stirrup cup in the shape of a dog's head, with chased fur and pricked ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: H 13 cm (5.1 in) · W 8 cm (3.1 in) · D 8 cm (3.1 in) · about the height of a tall coffee mug\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: silver-tone metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Mid-Century · 1960s–1970s\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition · light scratches and wear from use on the bowl\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59775879348569,"sku":"LM-V-726","price":398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8690191715_pm4u.jpg?v=1791443354","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-1960s-70s-italian-silver-tone-19477","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
