Description:

A. BLANCHARD 3 1/4" coin silver julep cup thrice engraved with two early monograms and one later family presentation. Likely the first period monogram of JP for John Presley with the descendant engraved name opposite side of John Presley Gain apparently passed on fairly soon, possibly the grandson of John Presley, as that script appears to date near the same era as the original JP. Another engraving Great Great Grand Mother was likely placed during the late Victorian era beneath the JP. This a flat bottom beaker which is a style when done in this exact manner is unique to Lexington, KY. circa 1815-1820. This style is among Blanchard's earlier beakers as the vast majority of his cups date from later in the 1820s well into the 1830s. Thomas Gray, Charles Plimpton, T.J. Ayres and Antoine Dumesnil, all Lexington silversmiths of that era, also made cups in this style. One can speculate that the four had tenure as journeymen at Blanchard's shop though silver does appear with their own marks. Beaker in fair condition with scattered tiny prick like dings and two shallow small dents at base molding. Rich patina with no repairs. Lexington made circa 1815-1820
