Sterling Stirrup Cup

Before the chase begins, the cup is passed. The stirrup cup is one of the oldest rituals of hunt country, a small measure of port or sloe gin handed up to the rider on horseback, to be drained before the field moves off. This one, in polished sterling silver with a classic tulip form on a domed pedestal, is exactly the right size for the tradition: one good sip, and you're ready. A rare and special find for the Derby collection, and a piece of equestrian history you can hold in one hand.
