The goblet was made for well-known hunting pouch maker Eric Fleisher who is getting married this coming Sunday. He asked me to make a "special" horn cup for him to surprise his wife-to-be with.
Included in the engraving on the goblet is a double distelfink design over the wedding date, with the first names "Ann" and "Eric" above. The distelfinks (or lovebirds) are surrounded by a vine and leaf design that was polychormed with ferric nitrate. One the back of the goblet is a hex sign with red hearts signifying love and miniaturized in the hex sign are Eric and Ann's favorite motiffs, the Lehigh Tamany figure and a pineapple.
Eric and Ann's wedding day is Sunday, September 28, 2014. Congratulations and Best Wishes!
Wonderful piece for a talented maker and his new wife. Congrats
