The design of this cup is inspired by a Flemish cup in the collection of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The Founders Cup, as it is known, was presented to the college by the Sir Walter Mildmay (d.1589), and is marked for Antwerp, 1541. Silver and goldsmiths working in the early years of the 20th century would have known of it from publications such as E. Alfred Jones The Old Plate of the Cambridge Colleges, Cambridge, 1910 pl. CV and C. J. Jackson The History of English Plate, London, 1911, p. 693.
