A Victorian silver 'Armada' ewer and matched goblet

Martin Hall & Co, Sheffield 1864, goblet Thomas Smily, London 1864
The ewer with lever action hinged dome cover, elongated shaped neck with bands of acanthus leaves and flowers, the bulbous profusely chased body with flowers and leaf scrolls around two cartouches with inscriptions, "Croxteth Hunt Meeting ... dated 1866" and "The Ditton Cup won by Little Scamp, the property of John Woollright, Esq...", the cartouches flanked with applied male and female winged caryatids and lion mask to the front, on a spread circular foot, the handle with ivory insulators, the goblet with profusely chased ogee shaped bowl, with related inscription "won by Little Scamp", height of ewer 36.5cm, weight 51.8oz. (2)

Footnotes

'The Ditton Cup' was awarded to 'Little Scamp' who was the winner of the Croxteth Hunt Steeplechases held on Saturday 7th April 1866 at Tarbuck, near Liverpool. The race was somewhat controversial since 'Little Scamp' came in second but was awarded the race because 'Fisherman' finished first but was objected to because he ran the wrong side of the post. The owner of the horse was John Woollright, a local Liverpool businessman.

Provenance:
This presentation silver ewer and goblet set was passed down the family to his great-granddaughter Mary, from whose Estate this item is being offered for auction.

Please note that from 19 January 2022, items containing ivory cannot be imported into the EU. The import of ivory into the USA is already prohibited.
