Question
I have what appears to be wine cups, stamped on bottom is "Made in England Sheffield English Pewter Wentworth" if you could please, verify age and value...they are in mint condition, no monograms, somewhat solid and heavy, my husband says he's had them for about 25-30 years from an auction. Thank you for your time and any information you have to offer.

Answer

30 years ago would be about right. Wentworth's started up in Sheffield in 1948. Value is pretty low, though as it happens I have a set of 6 listed on eBay at present (clearing oddments that came in with more desirable things), so follow the link from my website (end of the 1st paragraph of text on the home page) and watch the auction to get an idea of value!
