Details of the Duke of Wellington's gift to the infant H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught in 1851:
...........the real gift was a plain cup weighing 7.35 ounces of solid 22-carat gold. It was manufactured for the Duke by Messrs. R. and S. Garrard & Co., the famous Crown jewellers of the Haymarket, by whom others of a similar pattern were afterwards sold as the "Wellington Cup." In the strongroom at Bagshot Mansion, amongst rare presentation-plate and centrepieces of highly wrought silversmith's work, this memento of his childhood is preserved and treasured by H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught.
