A beautiful antique circa 1869 sterling silver goblet engraved as a sheep trophy! There is beautifully hand-engraved text on the side that reads:
Pontefract Cattle Show
1869
Won By
J Rishworth of Lotherton Park
for the Best Pen of 5 Ewes
In excellent condition, no big dents or damage, just a few shallow dimples visible only when looking down into the cup, and one bump near the stem that causes a very slight lean towards the front. It has polished up beautifully! The cup is unmarked for purity, though it tests as sterling silver.
Measures approximately 6” tall, weighs 5.5 ozt.
