Antique -Vintage - Retro - Mineral Springs Spa "Sippy" cups, from Karlovy Vary For Sale

When Czechoslovakia was part of Bohemia, Karlovy-Vary was Carlsbad, named for the king and the many mineral springs in the area, & of course they built big resort hotels so people could "take" the waters and get well. That's where these "sippy" cups are from. This style of cup w/a hollow handle is said to be created in Karlovy Vary. The handle incorporates an opening at the bottom and the hollow handle is the straw. (FYI: the waters are "nasty.) But they are said to cure almost everything. These cups are from Victorian times almost up to the present. 2 are ironstone & 3 are porcelain. The goat on a rock, depicted, is another story, look it up. They are all in very good condition, no chips, cracks, stains or crazing. New lower price: $ 85.00 + $ 6.00 Shipping U. S.
