Of heavy gauge silver, the small footed and girdled cup bearing the

Interior and upper edge with remains of gilt

 

Note :
"Tot cups" are small drinking vessels,
sometimes with a single handle, or handleless, in beaker form. 
They are usually footed and dram size (about two inches). 
Tot cups are said to be predecessors of the later Georgian "stirrup cups" -
so popular in both silver and ceramic from the mid-18th century forward. 
Tot cups, like stirrup cups, were likely handed to riders before or after a hunt,
and meant to be drunk without putting the vessel down.
