Ringlemere/Rillaton Cup

I started a new project a while ago, a cup in the style of the Ringlemere gold cup.  It started as a simple raising demonstration at Pennsic last year during the metalworking day in the A+S area, just a simple copper cup.  Never finished it, threw it in a box and forgot about it for a couple of months.  When I pulled it out later  the shape reminded me of the Ringlemere cup that I had just been looking at online.  So I thought it would be fun.
I created a new page for the Ringlemere Cup where I will post some pictures of my progress.
