I have and have had for over 31 years, what Manion's auction referred to as a "Wedding Cup". I would like to be able to provide pictures of this piece here to ascertain if anyone can shed more light on the piece, ie: have they seen one, any idea as to value, anyone have an interest in the piece? Here is a description:
ALLACH WEDDING CUP
The piece is not in Oliver's book nor have I seen it anywhere else either. it's an "SS Wedding Cup" per Manion's catalog of May 20, 1976.
It is 3 7/8" tall, 3 1/4" in diameter at the rim and 1 7/8" at the base. It is white porcelain in mint condition and has the intertwined SS and Allach on the recessed base inside an octagon.
Approx 7/8" from the base and on two lines of raised letters is the following:
*SOWISEURERINGEOHNEANFANGUNDOHNEENDE*
*SOSEIEURESIPPEHNEANFANGUNDOHNEENDE*
(I hope I got all the letters.)
This Manion's says translates to "Just as these rings have no beginning and no ending, So may your lineage have no beginning and no end."
If anyone can receive the pics which I have that my daughter took a few days ago and can post here or just want to see the pics themselves, pls email me.
Many Thanks, Lloyd
