Created in London in 1884 by James Barclay Hennell, this wonderfully decadent jug was given as the first prize at the Jubilee Ladies Cup race of 1887 at the Gibraltar Civilian Race meeting.
The jug is richly decorated with a chased hunting scene which wraps around the jug, and the handle is modelled in the naturalistic style to resemble the branch of a tree.
The cup carries the engraving:
Gibralter (sic) Civilian Race – Meeting 20th June 1887 – Jubilee Ladies Cup – won by – Mr F. Schotts ‘Partisan’.
The jug measures 12″(30.5cm) tall, 8″(20.5cm) from handle to side, by 7″(18cm) deep, and weighs 39.3 troy ounces.
