拍品专文

Captain Redford Webster Sargent commanded the vessel that carried wheat and corn to Russia during the famine of 1891-1892. The food was purchased by the Philadelphia Russian Relief Committee and Captain Sargent was asked to take charge of the ship, Indiana, which delivered the cargo.

For an almost identical beaker from the State Historical Museum, Moscow, see I. D. Kostina, Russian Silver XVI – Beginning XX Century, St Petersburg, 2004, p. 188. Another comparable beaker was sold Sotheby's, New York, 22 April 2009, lot 269.
