The love cup, like this one, made by Shreve, Crump & Low, was a common sight at weddings and banquets. It had two handles and was silver, and the cups were used for sharing drinks at weddings. These silver bowls usually had horn handles.

Horn handled cups like the one pictured are some of the most valuable and sell for thousands of dollars. These cups date back to the late 1900's when there was a renewed interest in hunting. The nostalgia behind these love cups, as well as the expensive materials they are made from, are the reason they are so expensive.
