Hello-

I have a few questions I am wondering if this is Gorham?

Second is this a child's cup or communion cup?

A very decorative piece. The marks are lion passant to the right, anchor, G, marked sterling, the number 4003 and a lions head.

This is a Gorham sterling child's cup, made in 1891 (per the lion's head date mark).

Its just a very nice cup.
  • Made by Gorham (Lion Anchor G)
  • 4003 = manufacturer's part number
  • Lion's Head is the date mark = 1891
