Many Happy Returns!
Many Happy Returns of this day to Mr Richard Lowndes Salmon! This lovely cup in our collection was given to a Mr Richard Lowndes Salmon - (presumably for his birthday) 240 years ago today!
Rev Richard Lowndes Salmon was vicar of Sandbach in Cheshire. This sort of named cup is not uncommon - see this blog post from March 2012 to see other (more local ones) from our collection.
