Description
A George I provincial silver tumbler cup, engraved with a marital armorial, with gilt interior, by Benjamin Pemberton, Chester probably 1725, diameter 7.3cm. £600-£800 --- Provenance: The Marital arms are those of Cotton impaling Tollemache. The armorial commemorates the marriage of Sir Robert Salusbury Cotton (2 January 1695 - 27 August 1748), 3rd Baronet of Combermere in the County of Cheshire and Lady Elizabeth Tollemache (died 16 August 1745). Robert and Elizabeth were married at the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Harrington, in the County of Northamptonshire on 24 January 1716. Robert was the third son of Sir Thomas Cotton, 2nd Baronet of Combermere and his wife, Philadelphia Lynch, whilst Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Earl of Dysart and his wife, Grace Wilbraham. Upon the death of his father on 12 June 1715, Robert succeeded to the family baronetcy that had been created for his great great grandfather, Sir Robert Cotton (circa 1635-18 December 1712) in the Baronetage of England on 29 March 1677. Although a landed gentleman, Robert also sat as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons for Cheshire (1727-34) and later for Lostwithiel (1741-47). He served as the Custos Rotulorum of Denbighshire (1716-48) and as the Lord Lieutenant of Denbighshire (1733-48). Sadly, as Robert and Elizabeth had no issue from their marriage, upon Robert’s death in 1748, his younger brother, Lynch Salusbury Cotton succeeded him as the 4th Baronet of Combermere. Literature: Maurice H. Ridgway & Philip T. Priestley: The Compendium of Chester Gold and Silver Marks, pub ACC, page 67. Condition Report Marks rubbed, date letter heavily so.
