SILVER HALLMARKS CAN BE A MINEFIELD !
I HAVE FOUND A VERY GOOD WEB PAGE FOR HALLMARKS , WHERE YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE HALLMARKS OF THE WORLD :
just type in the three w's followed by  : 925-1000.com

On offer is this incredible  antique  English sterling silver trophy loving cup and cover bearing the hallmarks up under the base, and on the top edge of the cover, for Sheffield 1840. The makers mark is that   of the highly respected Henry Wilkinson and Company.  This wondrous trophy loving cup and cover , standing on its original plinth, is of  good  size and weight . The overall height is  17 " , the diameters are ,  base (with three feet), 6.25  " , cup top 7 " and the handle width is 13 " . The silver  weight is  2005 grams , 64.46 troy ounces . The plinth weight is 1340 grams, making the total shipping weight 3345 grams. I pay the shipping , so that doesn't really matter !
How does one start to describe this  superb piece of antique English silver ? The detail is astonishing !The cover fits with the open flower finial  facing left when looking at the vacant cartouche . Such detail ! The top of the cover has stipplied ground 
embellished  with foliar and floral motifs and other repousse decorative swirls . All this rests on a gently sloping land at the edge of the cover.
Those handles ! Absolutely wonderful ! The basic shape is a standard C scroll , but there is nothing basic about these handles ! They are one mass of decoration , all of it superb and substantial . Shall we let the images tell their story ?
The cup itself ....... basically the whole has stippled ground apart from the vacant cartouche , which is plain silver and a pleasing shape.  The top edge of the cup is formed of robust oblique gadrooning which supports the skirt of the cover . Below this is repousse decoration over the whole area , consisting of floral , foliar and a myriad of highly decorative features . Apart from the vacant cartouche , there is no smooth silver !  As the bottom of the cup curls under to the stem , the decoration changes completely to a naturalistic ribbed collar which finishes at the stem top. 
The stem is short and robust with a smooth silver knop , below which is formed an oblique stylised foliar and stippled top of the base. This leads down to even more stippling and repousse decoration of organic features. To the front and back of the base is a single flower with foliage behind. The three feet are formed of stylised foliar form and sit comfortably into the black wooden plinth which has a raised edge to stop the cup moving . The plinth is beautifully polished and has green baize under to protect your surface it will rest on. 
I have been selling trophy cups for fifteen years , but have never had the pleasure of finding such a magnificent example ! Oh , happy days!

!There is no  inscription on this trophy loving cup  , so you can display it as it is or have your own dedication inscribed thereon.  

The whole is in EXCELLENT CONDITION and is beautifully polished ready to go on display. 

For your guidance , I use the words " EXCELLENT CONDITION " only if it is ........., " GOOD CONDITION " to indicate that there are no serious condition problems , but that there may be surface blemishes such as light discolouration , minor dings , dents or scratches commensurate with the age of the piece.............. I use the words " REASONABLE CONDITION " to indicate that there are blemishes and dings ,dents, creases , scratches , ripples etc . Under this condition category I will always qualify such defects , but please ask if you want any clarification of damages to any given piece.
