Two very nice vintage stirrup cups. The gold one is inscribed and made by Leonard!The pewter one is engraved with: AC Friends School 1974This type of specialized drinking vessel is called a stirrup cup. While the form had ancient Roman precedents, they were most popular throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries. This type of cup was often presented to a rider on horseback — while their feet were in the stirrups of the saddle — when they were departing or arriving home, often from the hunt. Since stirrup cups generally have no base, the presence of servants to hand the cup (sometimes on a specially fitted tray) to the drinker was necessary and the recipient was required to down the contents fairly quickly. Both measure approximately 5\" H x 3\" Across the bottom opening. These will make a nice addition to any collection.
Considered used and being sold as is.
Thanks for looking!
