Howard 'Grace' Cup
This richly mounted 'Grace' Cup would have been passed around the dinner table after prayers had been said. It is a survivor from the English Tudor Court. The ivory bowl is said to have belonged to
Roman Catholics and as art collectors. It descended through successive generations of the family until it was bought by the Victoria and Albert Museum
in 1931.
