Mint Juleps are a fine old Southern tradition and these cups are part of it. Silver julep cups started as a Kentucky tradition around 1800. These cups are of the traditional design including decorative hand-beading and were made by Jeweler, Mark Scearce, now called Wakefield-Scearce Galleries. The cups were a wedding present from 1969 and have been virtually unused. Scearce had a unique way to date his pieces.

Scearce Shelbyville, Kentucky" T is a mix of LBJ & RMN cups in the set. They come with their original felt bags and the each of them has a beautifully engraved "M" on the side.
