The richly decorated bodice sits over a long skirt which is the inverted drinking cup; deeply chased and hand decorated with matted background and scroll and foliate ornament. Fantastic quality and excellent weight. Weight 624g, 20 troy oz. Height 26cm, 10.2ins. Spread 11.5ins, 4.6ins. Diameter 6cm, 9.6ins. London 1829. Maker probably William Eley II.
