ca. 1864 · Pewter · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The original of this very contemporary-looking cup is a Scottish pewter half-pint measure, made in Glasgow in 1864. Sets of measures of this "thistyle" shape were made in Glasgow from about 1800 in four sizes — but the type, derived from 18th century silver models, were rare in pewter.
