This was one of probably three tumblers embellished with sulphide portraits (here of Andrew Jackson) presented to the marquis de Lafayette in 1825 by fellow Frenchman and Pittsburgh resident Felix Brunot. The engraved boughs with leaves and flowers frame Masonic symbols on one side and Lafayette’s interlaced initials on the other.
