A pair of Flight, Barr and Barr cabinet cups and stands by Thomas Baxter, circa 1815

The cups with twin gilded handles and a band of white 'jewels' applied below the gilded rims, painted with oval panels of Jubal and a lady seated at an organ, the reverse with still lives of shells and corals, the oval panels within multi-coloured jewelled borders and reserved on a blue ground gilt with classical ornament, cups 8.2cm high, script and printed marks (4)

Footnotes

The same figure of Jubal is found on a Swansea cabinet cup by Thomas Baxter illustrated by John O Wilstead and Bernard Morris, Thomas Baxter The Swansea Years (1997), p.21, fig.5. This shape of cabinet cup was particularly favoured by Baxter and several examples by this exceptional artist have been sold by Bonhams, including a pair on 3 October 2012, lots 195 and 196. The fine gilding and jewelling are also likely to have been done by Baxter himself.
