Dublin’s Company of Goldsmiths has hallmarked Irish silver since 1637, and this cup carries that crowned harp mark dated 1770, alongside the recorded mark of John Wilme. A genuine Irish-marked piece rather than an English one — a meaningful distinction for a collector focused on regional silver.

A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.
