About the Item
The original Temperance Basin was made by François Briot around 1585 and was acquired by the V&A in 1855. The most notable reproduction is the silver gilt Wimbledon Ladies Singles Championship trophy made by Elkington and Co in 1864, and has been presented at every championship since.
This electroform copper silver plated Temperance Basin was made by Elkington
Co is a copy of the original Temperance Basin.
The dish is beautifully embellished with figures from classical mythology. In the centre of the plaque there is a figure of the Temperance holding a wine cup, with four plaques that depict figures representing air, water, earth, and fire circling around the figure. Oval panels on the rim illustrate the Seven Liberal Arts – Grammar, Reason, Rhetoric, Music, Arithmetic, Geometry and Astrology – and their patron Minerva.
