An Edwardian silver twin-handled trophy cup and cover of campana form, with two foliate scrolled cartouche engraved 'The Leicester Sportsman's Cup 1905' to the front and 'Leicester Fosse Harriers Sports 2 Mile Flat Open Team Race' to the reverse, twin scrolled handles, lobed decoration to the lower body and raised on a spreading circular foot with gadroon border, conforming border decoration to the cover. Fixed on a circular plinth. Hallmarked Kemp Brothers, Birmingham 1904. Maximum height including plinth and lid finial measures 15 3/4 inches (40 cm), gross weight including plinth 37 ozt (1151 grams).

The cup displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Large dent to one side of the lobed lower body. Further dints and bumps to other areas. Several small dints around the rim of the lid and cup so both are a little misshapen so it is quite a tight fit. The lid finial is slightly pushed in. Some of the hallmarks appear rubbed but all are still legible, maker's marks are partly worn.
