This silver christening cup, made in Edinburgh by Hamilton & Inches, was given in 1955 to Deirdre Inches by her godfather. Deirdre was the last family director of the firm.

The cup, in the shape of a tazza, has a stem formed from three harps. The cup lid is decorated with pierced scroll work.

Hamilton & Inches was founded in 1866 by James Hamilton and his nephew Robert Kirk Inches. Their first shop was at 90A Princes Street and was primarily a retailing establishment. The firm continued in family ownership until 1992.
