    I’m very curious if these are actually antique silver. The color is silver tone but many metals are. They cups are glass holders for tea or coffee. Or shots ? Right now they cups are candle holders. It’s been speculated that they are from the early twentieth century and are of middle eastern origin. I can also easily speculate that they are imitations and not old at all and crafted from a tin can. Anyway to know what the metal is?

      Interesting pieces..they remind me of Persian tea cups. In the upside down picture it almost looks like there's writing on the scepter on the right cup? Or is that just decorations like the other ones have?

      Maybe Turkish?

      You can take these to a jeweler and have the metal tested to see what it is..

      The decoration or silversmithing reminds me almost exactly of the Indian or India work done. They did a lot of hand done work which was not like British work. So there was particularly a lot of tea and sugars. Sometimes I bought work from some of the flea market/antique market shows I went to.
