This vase was presented to Edith Bulwer-Lytton, Countess of Lytton (1841-1936), at the Delhi Durbar in 1877 . Her laced initials, 'E L' are prominently inscribed on the front. The vase then passed through the family to her great great grand-daughter, from whom it was acquired. Edith Lytton was married to the first Viceroy of India, Robert Bulwer-Lytton, the Earl of Lytton. The Delhi Durbar, held over several weeks from 1 January 1877, was held to proclaim Queen Victoria as Empress of India. Lytton was the senior British representative at the event, which marked completion of the transfer of control from the British East India Company to the Crown, as the Queen was not present. reference term-124744 adlib-term-124744 d74897b0-aef3-3f6b-9892-2f8e4a88d417 19th Century, Late reference term-106549 adlib-term-106549 bebefaab-bfd1-345f-9ab4-37e02f955c86 Vienna clear reference term-91170 adlib-term-91170 d49ca0b4-ccae-3039-afe0-882c186cff25 glass Depth cm 10.7 Height cm 17.5 Width cm 16 reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference term-107609 adlib-term-107609 71b65ef8-c0fb-319e-925f-37526bfc6764 flask history note Edith Bulwer Lytton (1841-1936), wife of 1st Earl of Lytton; by descent to vendor; Willingham Auction, (near Cambridge) 28 March 2015, lot 1626 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-7919 adlib-publication-7919 1e209a4b-ef56-308e-b226-564a69fb2689 Osterreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst, '150 Jahre Lobmeyr, 1823-1973'. reference publication-7920 adlib-publication-7920 69e2d3a9-a033-3716-8b94-05dcb3c83b5e J. & L.
