Antrim Artillery cup
Hi all,
Just got this nicely made piece and just wondering how common are they and can it be Victorian period? Thanks, Phaethon

The Antrim Militia Artillery were formed in 1854 and were one if not the best in Ireland.
The cup is certainly Victorian and from the style of the crown probably dates to around their start date rather than late 19th Century. regards

Thank you so much for that information! Really well preserved if it's so old!
