Delomosne and Son, Engraved Glass from North East England 1800-1860 (2013), no.9a
This tumbler was produced between the battles of the Nile and Trafalgar to celebrate an extraordinary series of British naval victories - Howe and the Glorious First of June, Jervis and the Battle of Cape St Vincent, Duncan and the Battle of Camperdown, and Nelson and the Battle of the Nile. In their catalogue, Delomosne and Son draw comparisons between the border on this tumbler and that on a glass signed by Richardson to suggest a possible North-eastern origin.
