Colonel James Hughes (1778-1845) was the third son of Rev. Edward Hughes of Kinmel Park, Denbighshire, and Mary Lewis of Llysdulas, Anglesey. His family had acquired great wealth through their ownership of copper mines on Parys Mountain, Anglesey. During his distinguished military career in the 18th Light Dragoons, he served in the Peninsular War, and was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1815. He married Frances Anne Jane Stanhope (d.1886), daughter of Major the Hon. Sir Francis Charles Stanhope, in 1841. They had no children. Colonel Hughes died whilst in Tuscany at Poggibonsi and a fine classical sarcophagus tomb was raised in his memory by his brother Lord Dinorbin, which survives to this day in the Cimitero Acattolico, Florence.

An almost identical cup and cover by Hester Bateman dated 1788 and engraved with the arms of Robert, 2nd Earl Grosvenor (1767-1845) and his wife Eleanor (d. 1846), was sold at Christie's, New York, 16 April 2004, lot 83.
