Description: | Teacup, part of a tea service reputedly belonging to Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) although this is unlikely. Pieces of this service were left by Hilaire, Countess Nelson to her nephew. The cup is waisted and fluted through its full height with a decorative gold rim. It is painted with small sprigs of coloured flowers and leaves. Around the border there are three gold lines interwoven with a continuous blue riband. The interior of the cup is plain and the maker's mark is painted on the base. There are two similar teacups in the museum's collections AAA4631-AAA4632. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Barlow Horatio Nelson cups (drinking vessels) Hilaire | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
