This beaker was found in a well at Hurstbourne Tarrant. It is believed that these beakers were made to commemorate the investiture of Henry, eldest son of James I who was invested as Prince of Wales in 1610 and died 1612.
Another beaker of this type is in the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, No.303 and a third in the V & A, see Tony North, Pewter at the Victoria and Albert Museum, No.33. and a fourth in the Museum of London.
The fashion for relief cast decorated pewter in England was brief. It spread from Italian designs of the late 16th Century and by makers such as Francois Briot of Lyons and Caspar Enderlein of Nuremberg.
