The Luke family of Glasgow silversmiths appear to have specialised in the production of communion cups owing to the number of surviving examples from the churches of Glasgow and the surrounding area. Many, such as the present examples, have bell-shaped bowls, and some have wider shallower bowls, such as the Cardross Cups, made for Cardross Parish Church, Dumbartonshire, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
