Footnotes

  • Provenance:
    From the Estate of Christopher Sheppard

    This is possibly by the same hand as a ceremonial goblet in the John Carson collection sold by Phillips 6 June 2001, lot 37. John Carson had researched the history of ceremonial goblets and our catalogue of his collection discussed their use. He believed his goblet engraved with a similar band of flowers possibly had Jacobite significance and may have been used for toasting at a Jacobite club or other clandestine gathering.
