AMERICAN FOLK ART HORN BEAKER
 |
American Folk Art Horn Beaker
Circa: 1780
Size: 5" x 3" D
Carved in the manner of an American powder horn (not like English hunting horn cups) the beaker is carved with a sqaure rigged sailing ship, a lorilei, a fish and a great swan all framed and encircled with beautiful floral motifs. Silver rim and bottom mounts. The carved verse is like nothing I have seen on any another beaker:
Around this Horn in sculptured letters see
A friendly token Jerrold received from me
And when the Harvest toils shall Sweat the brow
May its Cheering draughts fast speed the plow
Add fresh Vigour to the manly nerves
And bring industry what its toil deserves
Condition: Excellent.
Price: $2,500.00
