Thanks for the info, Gary, :) I didn't know the dates - just thought the handles and piping looked as if JB might have been involved.

Also, thanks for posting it.  8) Gets discussion going, which is always good!

Having peered at the construction of the colours in the body, I think I'm starting to agree with t'other Gary - that it's just not right at all..... strange.
I'll ask my brother what he thinks about it and report back!

Hmm, looks like someone wanted a glass trophy as opposed to silver/plate, or chrome. If so that might mean it is traceable, since we have the date.

As for all the flummery (including the handle), it's horrible - but if you remove it you're left very much with a Monart shape.

I agree Nigel, but have you really enlarged the images to look at how the colours are worked?
They don't look quite right to me - but you've seen and fondled a lot more than I have!

If somebody wanted a trophy, why would "Ysart" be the name piped onto it?
Unless of course, it was for somebody in the family.

The following images are reproduced by kind permission of Bonhams Auction House Edinburgh.
Monart shapes H and Q have piping on them.
The link below shows an example of Monart shape C with piping.
