Silver plated.
Made by the US firm of Reed & Barton c1900 with an engraved date of 1915 the cup displays pristine silver plating having been Restored, Replated and Lacquered for permanence by the famed Montreal Silversmith firm BIRKS. More info available on request. The lid was possibly a later addition and the soccer player topping it, an even later one, dating c1930. It appears that the trophy was mounted on a base at some time judging by the 3 small holes at the edge of the bottom rim. I am tempted to have a custom base designed & made although that would increase the price considerably. Engraved as follows:
