Fine, Handcrafted Pewter in the Great American Tradition
William Bradford, Jr. Porringer

George Washington's Camp Cups

The original silver cups, with later commemorative inscriptions, were part of General George Washington’s camp equipment during the Revolutionary War. The original set of 12 cups, used to serve wine to aides and guests at the General’s table, were made in the shop of Philadelphia silversmith Edmund Milne in August 1777. The Museum of the American Revolution owns 10 of the original set. My faithful adaptation of the Washington Camp Cup is hand spun, lead free pewter, and is table safe.
