Six Jefferson cups, pewter handmade in Williamsburg, Virginia.
According to Monticello's website, Thomas Jefferson created these in 1810 after melting down silver cups that were given to left to him in the death of a friend. He created a set of 8. This tumbler style was a low round-bottomed cup that had a much thicker base than sides. This extra weight made the cups sturdy helped them from tipping over. They were all the rage at the time and were often used in traveling.
