Silver Goblets Pair

This pair of silver goblets represent Singapore’s longstanding friendship with the United Kingdom. Etched on the surfaces are Queen Elizabeth II’s royal cypher and Singapore’s coat of arms.

At the back of the goblets are the maker’s name, WRA (William R Asprey), the lion passant guardant certifying it to be the highest grade (925 sterling silver), the town mark (London), with the year the piece was verified – “C” (2002).

There is also the Golden Jubilee mark of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen had made earlier visits to Singapore in 1972 and 1989.
