Description: | At the first supper of Dumfries Burns Club, held in the Globe Inn, Dumfries on 25th January 1819, it was decided to open a subscription for the purchase of a punch bowl. This bowl was made by Josiah Spode of Stoke on Trent and first used in 1820.
The mugs are decorated with images to match the punch bowl - a portrait of Burns and a drinking scene. The inscription ' We'll Tak' A Cup O Kindness Yet For Auld Lang Syne' appears as a banner motif alongside a pair of clasped hands.
Four of these serving mugs were purchased along with the punch bowl, a silver liner, a punch ladle and glasses. The punch set is one of the most valued relics of Dumfries Burns Club and is still used at their annual suppers. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 | Publisher: | Dumfries & Galloway Council - Nithsdale Museums | Temporal: | 1819-01-01 - 1820-12-31 | Source: | Burns Scotland | Identifier: | Serving mugs of Dumfries Burns Club punc | Go to resource |
