An Arcadian crested china miniature model of a three-handled loving-cup with "Buckfastleigh", "Devon" and "England" crests and gilt rim, measuring approximately 4cm (1.55in) in height and 4.1cm (1.6in) in diameter excluding handles. The base bears the "A&S / STOKE-ON-TRENT / ARCADIAN CHINA" printed mark together with the printed description "MODEL OF LOVING-CUP / ORIGINATED BY HENRY / OF NAVARRE KING / OF FRANCE", the word "COPYRIGHT", the number "579", a small black painted mark and an incised "E". The crests are in good condition overall, although the transfer is faint in places and there are some patches of age dullness to the enamel; there is some wear to the gilt rim together with one or two slight scratches to the glaze; there are some manufacturing irregularities including a tiny glazed-over fault line to the internal rim and various imperfections in the glaze.
