The Goblets are "Campana" shaped in form and stand on a stepped circular pedestal foot decorated with a band of acanthus leaves   The baluster stem leads to a large bowl with slightly tapering sides and an everted rim.  The lower section displays a band of a crisp trailing vines, flower heads and leopard head masks, all on a matted ground.  The upper section of the main body displays a wide frieze of bound foliate scrolls interspersed with thistles, acorns and clover leaves, all in raised relief and on a matted ground.  The interiors are finely gilded and the front is engraved with a contemporary Crest.  The Crest is that as used by the Cotrell family.  The Goblets are in excellent condition, are of a very good size and are also of a very good gauge and weight.  The design is similar to that as produced by Paul Storr, however we know that there was a business relationship between Storr and Emes and Barnard.

Height: 6.8 inches, 17 cm.

Diameter at the bowl: 4.45 inches, 11.13 cm.

Weight: 31oz, the pair.
