Loving cup 1772

This silver Loving Cup, created by Richard Williams in 1772, is a fine example of 18th-century craftsmanship. The cup features an engraved coat of arms surrounded by a decorative wreath and the Latin inscription "Dat Deus Incrementum" (God gives the increase). The design reflects the popularity of heraldry and classical motifs in the period. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The Loving Cup, a traditional drinking vessel, is an object of historical and artistic interest.
