Lot Essay

A very similar cup and cover, together with a saucer, was given to Edward, Prince of Wales, on his tour of India in 1875-6 (inv.no.11424; RCIN Meghani, 2018, p.94). Presented by Ram Singh II, Maharaja of Jaipur the catalogue suggests that it was made by Ghuma Singh of Jaipur who is recorded as having made a further similar example in 1895 that is now in the Albert Hall Museum, Jaipur.
