Would you have your own name engraved on a gift you had made for someone else?

In 1713, when Queen Anne appointed Robert Benson, or 1st Baron Bingley, as ambassador to the Spanish court, he was sent with what are now known as the Bingley cups. Leading London goldsmith Phillip Rollos the Younger made these enormous cups, each with a cover and salver, to be displayed as status symbols when Bingley hosted officials and diplomats. The cups showed the wealth and skill of Britain.

To get a sense of the maker's skill, have a look at the description of the photo (in its ALT text).

Each cup is finely engraved, on the side, with Queen Anne's perfectly lettered monogram, AR—appropriate since Bingley was representing Anne.

Museums often hold such objects on behalf of the UK government, which accepts them as payment of inheritance tax bills. In this way, some of the crown's past wealth returns to the nation.

Object description from Victoria and Albert museum's catalogue: "A silver-gilt cup, cover, and matching salver, one of a pair, the cup on a spreading circular foot cast and chased with basketwork, the body applied with masks, lambrequins and strapwork above and below the central moulded rib, the scroll handles cast with beading and foliage, the stepped spool-shaped covers with foliage and gadrooned borders, a band of guilloche enclosing rosettes and vase-shaped finial, the salver on a bell-shaped foot with basket work border and partly fluted knop and with gadrooned rim and shaped leaf and scroll border, the cup and salver engraved with the Royal coat of arms, the cover with the monogram of Queen Anne, the cup, cover and salver each struck four times with the maker's mark, the salver and cup both marked with scratch weights."

The monogram consists of the letters AR, for Anne Regina, partly in Latin, meaning Queen Anne.

These cups with covers and salvers are large: almost ½ meter, or 20 inches tall. Together, the pair of Bingley cups weigh 15 kilos, or 33 pounds.

How do I speak to my wife about her taxes? My wife doesn’t want to pay her income tax. Every year we come down to the same argument. She has like $25 in federal income tax withheld from her check, and I have like $200 withheld from mine, and we owe like a thousand dollars on April 15th. bocvip.com/1115998/how-do-i-sp #tax
