What might appear as a trophy to us was actually referred to as a loving cup in the 19th century. Loving cups were often gifted to newlyweds and symbolized unity. The engravings on this loving cup represent the initials of the couple, and what we presume is the date of their union. L.P.W to E.W.W. April 6, 1862 Sourced in Concord, Massachusetts.
