Wide range of sizes, designs, and prices
Style & Maker History
The tumbler’s design dates to the eighteenth century, when the heavy rounded base was a genuinely functional choice — made for use in carriages and aboard ships, where a flat-bottomed cup would simply tip over. That original practicality is part of why the form has lasted.
Buyer's Guide
Sizes, designs, and prices vary widely here, so there’s real room to choose based on what suits rather than settling for the only option in budget. If you have an old tumbler you’re looking to sell, we’re always interested in buying one back — it’s a category we actively collect as well as sell.
Any item which is guaranteed to be over 100 years old.
Sterling Silver is guaranteed by the UK Hallmarking Act. Each piece is independently verified and assayed for the purity of silver content.
