Beautiful to hold, impressive to display and perfect for celebration, they make a lasting choice for anniversaries, weddings, milestone birthdays and special family occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This superb pair of <strong>solid silver AE Jones goblets<\/strong>, hallmarked <strong>Birmingham 1972<\/strong>, combines fine British craftsmanship with understated elegance. Each goblet has a plain polished silver exterior and a rich <strong>gold-gilded interior<\/strong>, creating a striking contrast that feels both luxurious and timeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Made by AE Jones \u2013 Arts &amp; Crafts Silversmiths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AE Jones is a highly respected name in British silver, closely associated with the Arts &amp; Crafts tradition. Their work is admired for its quality, simplicity of form and careful craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These goblets reflect that heritage beautifully. The design is refined rather than overly ornate, allowing the quality of the silver, the graceful shape and the gilded interiors to take centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For collectors and customers seeking genuine hallmarked British silver, AE Jones pieces remain especially appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heavy Gauge Solid Silver Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each goblet weighs an impressive <strong>130 grams \/ 4.5 oz<\/strong>, giving the pair a combined weight of <strong>260 grams<\/strong> of solid sterling silver.

The warm gold interior contrasts beautifully with the polished silver exterior, giving the goblets a rich and celebratory appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold gilding has long been used in fine silver drinking vessels, both for beauty and to protect the interior surface. It adds a special sense of occasion, making these goblets particularly suitable for weddings, anniversaries and important celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Perfect Gift for Anniversaries and Special Occasions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These silver goblets would make a memorable and lasting gift.

This allows you to add a name, date or short message while keeping the goblets themselves clean and untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a thoughtful way to personalise the gift without altering the simple beauty of the silver goblets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fully Restored to Near-New Condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although made in <strong>1972<\/strong>, these AE Jones goblets have been <strong>fully restored by us to a near-new finish<\/strong>.
