Mark J. Scearce julep cups originated during World War II in Kentucky, when the silversmith began recreating traditional 19th-century Southern mint julep cups. The line became a signature product of Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, emphasizing hand craftsmanship and classic beaded rims. Cups from the presidential series are stamped with an eagle and the initials of the sitting U.S. President, functioning like a hallmark that dates the cup.
Minor warping to the feet.
