SHAKESPEARIANA -- An English mulberry goblet, 1864, by J[ohn] Marshall, the bowl with carved bust of Shakespeare in high relief, acorns, vines and Shakespeare's coat-of-arms, the upper rim carved with line from Hamlet: 'We shall not look upon his like again', and the lower rim: 'Shakespeare's Mulberry Wood, 1864', underside incised: 'I. Marshall - Carver - Stratford on Avon' (small crack at base), 215mm. high, 105mm. diameter.
AN ELABORATELY CARVED TURNED GOBLET, REPUTEDLY MADE FROM THE WOOD OF SHAKESPEARE'S MULBERRY TREE. John Marshall was a carver and antiquarian in Stratford-on-Avon who, after the destruction of Shakespeare's family home by its owner the Rev. Francis Gastrell in 1759, used wood from the property, including beams from the barn and the remnants of a mulberry tree said to have been planted by Shakespeare, to create carved artefacts for his shop. His 1887 obituary reads: 'Mr. Marshall ... had many opportunities of acquiring wood that was in different ways associated with Shakespeare, which he occasionally made into such articles as boxes &c., and many are now possessed by eminent persons in all parts of the world'. FINE AND UNUSUAL EXAMPLE OF MARSHALL'S COMMEMORATIVE WORK.
