Silver Champange Coupe

Era: MCM
Provenance: USA
Material: silver
Wax fill: 4 oz

This Champagne Coupe captures the ornamental spirit of mid-century American metalwork. The vessel features a heavily embossed rim of trailing grapevines and floral medallions, while a central crest adds a sense of forgotten ceremony. A warm, tea-colored patina has settled into the depths of the silvered relief, contrasting beautifully with the polished luster of the stem and base. Inside, four ounces of hand-poured soy wax offer a clean and steady flame. We use only 100% soy wax with no artificial coloring to ensure the integrity of the vintage metal is preserved. This weighted piece brings a quiet, reflective weight to any surface it graces.

Wine Goblet

Era: MCM
Provenance: USA
Material: silver
Wax fill: 8 oz

This mid-century Wine Goblet carries a quiet weight and a weathered luster. Intricate repoussé work adorns the exterior, featuring a prominent crest flanked by draped figures and a rim of fruiting grapevines. The metallic surface shows a gentle, aged patina that catches the light with a soft, silvered glow. We have filled this vessel with eight ounces of pure, hand-poured soy coconut wax. Free from artificial coloring, the clean wax offers a minimalist contrast to the ornate details of the goblet. This American-sourced piece finds new purpose as a luminous object for the modern home.

Water Goblet

Era: MCM
Provenance: USA
Material: silver
Wax fill: 13 oz

This mid-century Water Goblet offers a commanding presence through its ornate repoussé work and polished silver luster. The vessel features a heavily detailed band of grape clusters and architectural flourishes above a central coat of arms. Acanthus leaves and draped ribbons provide a tactile, dimensional quality to the sturdy form. We have filled this American-sourced piece with thirteen ounces of pure, undyed soy wax for a clean and steady burn. The weight of the metal and the complexity of the heraldic motifs make this vessel a striking centerpiece for a dark study or a candlelit evening.
