This 19th-century silver cup, crafted by Elkington & Co., features a striking design of a lion supporting a shell-shaped vessel. The intricate details of the lion's mane and the ornate base showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the period. The cup, now residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an excellent example of Victorian-era decorative arts. The use of gold plating and the prominent lion motif signify the opulence and grandeur associated with this era.
