    Hello, new here. Needing help to identify this gorgeous silver cup. Mark on the bottom only reads SILVER. Looks like they have been acid tested & they don't magnetize. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    maybe a kiddish cup...... but just the word silver...... is suspect , as it exists as a fake mark as well....

    let';s wait for some silver experts to weigh in........

    Ditto.
    Just "silver" as a mark is/was also used in a few former British colonies. It helps to know in which country you found the cup.

    I actually purchased 5 of them at an estate sale in Arkansas, USA for $30 USD. The estate owner was in the military, so possibly purchased during a deployment. Thank you all.

    I’ve got a dish marked SILVER like that and was reliably told by large Auction house it was likely to be Indian silver.

    I have also seen it on items from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other former British colonies.
