Trinity House silver presentation cup and cover 1795

Trinity House silver presentation cup and cover, 1795. This cup is modelled in the classical style with a fluted foot chased with a band of laurel leaves supporting the fluted lower body decorated with a band of fish scale decoration intersected by four foliate bosses. The plain central field is inscribed on one side ‘To the Revd. Samuel Glasse, D.D. from the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, In Testimony of Respect and Affection’, and on the other with the conjoined arms of Trinity House and the Glasse family. The rim has a band of vine leaves and bunches of grapes on a matted ground, with acanthus and guilloche-chased handles. The domed cover is cast and chased with acanthus leaves, the rim with repeated fish scale and boss decoration, and the finial cast as a stylised acorn. Maker’s mark: W.H. for William Hall, London 1795.
