This remarkable cup is inspired by William Kent's design for the 'Pelham Gold Cup' of 1736 made by George Wickes for Colonel Pelham, published by John Vardy, Some Designs of Mr. Inigo Jones and Mr. William Kent, 1744, p. 28. A silver-gilt replica of the Pelham cup was made by John Jacobs, London, 1755. The present lot dates to 1758 and appears to be one of the first cups to be made with variations on the design. One by Thomas Heming, London, 1763, was given as a christening gift from the King to George Ferdinand Fitzroy.
