Communion cups
This pair of silver gilt communion cups are from St Paul's and St George's Episcopal Church in Edinburgh. The cups were made in 1880-1881 by G. and W. Crichton, Edinburgh and were presented to the church by Sir David Anderson.
The cups have a small straight-sided bowl which tapers to a rounded base. The bowl is decorated with a broad band of chased and engraved work, featuring leaf scrolls set with red glass stones.
The two cups were part of a communion set made by G. and W. Crichton in 1880-1. The set also included a flagon and two patens. The cups are similar in design to a pair of flagons from St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh.
