Georgian Nelson Commemorative Cup Bowl Rummer, "England Has Done Her Duty"

£225    $301    €263
This is a Georgian, English, engraved rummer glass commemorating Admiral Lord Nelson and dating from the beginning of the 19th century, c1805.
 
The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.
 
 
The glass has an ovoid-shaped bowl measuring 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is decorated with a Hoho bird carrying a leaf frond flanked by the legend ''England has done her duty'' in script. The legend refers to Nelson''s signal ''England expects that every man will do his duty'' before the Battle of Trafalgar. The bowl is otherwise plain. The bowl sits on a short plain stem and a slightly misshapen conical foot which measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter. The glass is 10.6 cm (4.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
