1. The cup of Venetian Glass called the Luck of Eden Hall, preserved
at that place: the seat of Sir G. Musgrave, near Penrith. It derives
its name and its careful preservation from the tradition, that it was
originally stolen from the Fairies, to whom the legendary rhyme attached
to it is ascribed:—
If this Cup shall brake or fall,
Farewell the Luck of Eden Hall.
The stamped leather cover is ornamented with foliage and has the sacred
monogram on the cover.
3. German beer Jug. This is in the Museum of Newcastle, and is stamped
with the date 1589. It has figures of David and Joshua, and coats of
arms above and below the figures, on the side represented are those of
Nuremberg and Wurtemburg.
4. Has three figures upon it, Justice, Faith, and Patience, and the date
1566.
5. A Peg-tankard, in the possession of Mrs. Davidson of Ripley Hall. This
species of tankard takes its name as the reader is doubtless aware from
a series of keys or pegs projecting inside, to regulate the depth of
draught allowed to each drinker as it passed down the table. The vessel
under notice holds five pints, one pint being contained between each peg.
