Nautilus shell, mounted in silver-gilt. The shell is engraved with two Chinese scenes on each side of the body, and with ornamental patterns of scalework, diaperwork and brickwork. It has been badly damaged and repaired. The shell is held by four staps; those at the sides are cast as caryatids, whilst the strap at the front is cast as a young warrior, and that at the back as a bearded man. They support the rim mount, which has a cut border, and is applied with winged angels heads, flowers and snails. At the top, over the curve of the shell, is a model of a lobster or crayfish. At the front is a wide everted rim, which is engraved with a border of flowers and scrolling foliage. The shell rests on a calyx with cut border. This is held aloft by a model of Neptune riding a dolphin. The slightly domed over foot is embossed and chased with sea monsters and waves. The foot ring is cast with an egg, tongue and dart border. The wooden box (A) has two hinged half lids and is fitted with cream calf lining. 19 reference exhibition-3305 adlib-exhibition-3305 534a3247-91a9-398f-abe9-7b419586f568 Feast and Fast: The Art of Food in Europe (1500-1800) 136 reference exhibition-18 adlib-exhibition-18 d710f826-fb52-350a-bae1-4630a842e7cb Treasures of Cambridge MTD8 reference exhibition-1438 adlib-exhibition-1438 a4b3c03f-8a6c-3130-a9c9-e5f9155b2c11 Cambridge Plate reference exhibition-2080 adlib-exhibition-2080 21fb61db-870d-399e-a0fb-035ef1c66d00 'I turned it into a palace', Sir Sydney Cockerell and The Fitzwilliam Museum 3 reference exhibition-2376 adlib-exhibition-2376 3e2208a0-ad25-3b64-b03f-cb63aa00fd02 Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment 74 reference exhibition-3277 adlib-exhibition-3277 943a1ddc-c042-3ebd-bb79-59a620b6d3e3 The Paston Treasure M/P.4-1938 1 accession number M/P.4-1938 118322 priref 118322 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/118322 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/118322 on the underside of the base printed on paper and glued to the surface FITZW. / MUS label of ownership leopard's head crowned on the upper surface of the foot struck hallmark lion passant on the upper surface of the foot struck hallmark on the upper surface of the foot struck H hallmark probably TK in monogram on the upper surface of the foot struck maker's mark reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum L.D.

It was constructed in Elizabethan London, likely by an Antwerp silversmith, using a south-east Asian shell, engraved in China, mounted in precious silver- gilt fittings. Its stem and foot are shaped as Neptune riding a dolphin writhing in a sea filled with marine life, while a giant crayfish attempts to crawl inside the back of the shell bowl, making the object rather terrifying to pick up, let alone drink from. The maker's mark of possibly 'TK' conjoined has not been identified. It was previously interpreted as possibly 'TEo' in monogram, for Thomas Heard (see Jacksons, Ian Pickford, p. 98), but further comparison reveals that this is unlikely. reference term-106402 adlib-term-106402 7466a5d6-293f-3bbc-9672-fa9dd41712be 16th Century, Late reference term-119801 adlib-term-119801 9c3b01e1-e276-3275-ac22-1b7c03dad449 Elizabeth I reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country mounts London Height cm 24.4 Height in 9⅝ Length cm 19 Length in 7½ Width cm 10.8 Width in 4¼ reference media-192712 adlib-media-192712 3b5697b8-1209-3914-9613-c15cb3ac4b3d jpeg aa/aa31/M_P_4_1938_1_201312_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 692 1616249635961 1 image jpeg aa/aa31/mid_M_P_4_1938_1_201312_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 500 1616249635961 1 image jpeg aa/aa31/M_P_4_1938_1_201312_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 692 1616249635961 1 image jpeg aa/aa31/preview_M_P_4_1938_1_201312_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 370 width pixels 250 1616249635961 1 image 0 media image reference media-195597 adlib-media-195597 9586764a-26e4-3dd9-ba23-b347c1a57504 jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_2_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 575 1616267461776 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_M_P_4_1938_2_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 891 width pixels 500 1616267461776 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_2_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 575 1616267461776 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_M_P_4_1938_2_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 446 width pixels 250 1616267461776 1 image 1 media image reference media-195598 adlib-media-195598 efb3b849-0147-3b74-9626-9a6aa17c6cfa jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_3_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 571 1616284939724 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_M_P_4_1938_3_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 898 width pixels 500 1616284939724 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_3_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 571 1616284939724 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_M_P_4_1938_3_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 449 width pixels 250 1616284939724 1 image 2 media image reference media-195599 adlib-media-195599 fd016bd6-bd9e-3d47-892a-eb863fdb9096 jpeg aa/aa32/large_M_P_4_1938_4_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 735 width pixels 1024 1616286417882 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_M_P_4_1938_4_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 359 width pixels 500 1616286417882 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_4_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 736 width pixels 1025 1616286417882 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_M_P_4_1938_4_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 180 width pixels 250 1616286417882 1 image 3 media image reference media-195600 adlib-media-195600 ba04dbb7-9e15-35cf-8b59-942f74138161 jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_5_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 875 1616274612942 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_M_P_4_1938_5_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 586 width pixels 500 1616274612942 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/M_P_4_1938_5_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 875 1616274612942 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_M_P_4_1938_5_201312_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 293 width pixels 250 1616274612942 1 image 4 media image reference term-91975 adlib-term-91975 e8d9548e-5669-3144-8e7b-fe991f35933b standing cup history note Listed in Mr Cunliffe's catalogue as being bought at Phillips reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-4596 adlib-publication-4596 feb894f5-8b8c-3bbd-88bd-1be5b00b7f95 Treasures of Cambridge.
