About this work
The cup was made to celebrate the marriage in 1750 of Johan van Borssele van der Hooge and Anna Margaretha Coninck. Its form and decoration are based on a cup that William IV had commissioned as a gift to the civic guard company of The Hague. That cup was also made by the Metayer brothers from France.
