Erlandsson, date code D7 for 1906, with the Gothenburg city mark. The applied crest on the body is the Swedish national emblem, Tre Kronor, the Three Crowns that have identified the Swedish state since the medieval period, set within a crowned wreath. These cups were made as presentation pieces, regimental gifts, and civic awards, as well as for the broad culture of snaps drinking that has been central to Swedish social life for centuries. The form is plain and purposeful, all the weight of the piece concentrated in that single emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Schnapps cup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Silverplate over brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Maker | B.

The silverplate is intact across the body and the applied crest shows no lifting or losses. The base has worn through in places to the underlying brass, showing the gold-toned base metal, which is typical of silverplate pieces that have seen regular handling over more than a century. The form is structurally sound with no dents or deformation. The crest is crisp and well-defined.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440392536342,"sku":"AMD-03177","price":160.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/JuneEnland2026-3710.jpg?v=1781724647","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-swedish-silverplate-schnapps-cup-tre-kronor-1906","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
