Pair of 1950s English Silver Plate Animal Head Stirrup Cups bedside tables These champagne coloured glass sconcesPair of 1950s English silver plate animal stirrup cups in the shape of a ram's and bull's head. The cups balance perfectly when upturned on their noses and horns. The heads are incredibly detailed and sculpted. There is some tarnishing to the silver plate commensurate with their age. The cup of the bull is slightly indented and not perfectly round. Stirrup cups are traditional drinking vessels which were popular in the late 18th and 19th centuries,
