Jefferson Cup (satin) 8 Ounce
SKU:
420292050
$42.95
An authentic reproduction in pewter of one of the eight silver drinking cups designed by Thomas Jefferson and made for him by John Letelier of Richmond, Virginia. Five of the original cups are on display at Monticello, Jefferson's home at Charlottesville, Virginia. Handcrafted in the USA.
Pewter barware is excellent for cold drinks! Pewter retains a pleasant chill and traps in a liquid's coldness, making it perfect for a cold beer, wine, and iced drinks like mint juleps. Many people who have tried sipping out of pewter barware now swear by it!
Please note it is not advisable to drink hot drinks out of pewter mugs because of the melting point of the metal. We recommend hand-washing all pewter barware with warm soap and water, then drying it completely with a cloth.
Our pewter meets or exceeds all FDA food-safety standards.
The Jefferson Cup is not available wholesale.

purchased 2 Jefferson Cups
Ordered these online from your Website. They are beautiful, but on the order form I had put down that they should be engraved.. These are for my brother's 70th birthday and I had put down his initials "GDT". It showed it on the order form. At this time I can only find the PayPal receipt. A little disappointed, but they are still beautiful Sabra Massey

Lovely Jefferson Cups
Bought two Jefferson Cups for a charity auction for our company's Make A Wish Campaign. Shipping was quick and they came in nice packaging and in perfect, beautiful condition. Very happy with my purchase and someone will be lucky to own them

Exactly What I was Looking For
The quality of the Jefferson Cups is exactly what I expected from Danforth. Considering the quality, the price was very competitive. The engraving provided a very nice personal touch. The next time I need pewter products, Danforth is on my speed dial list.

Perfect
I was looking to replace a little snifter my husband received when he was 21. It broke and he used it to drink his cherry brandy. The Jefferson Cup is the perfect size and I love the fact that he'll be able to chill the cup if he wants to drink his brandy cold, and we won't have to worry about it breaking. The cup is perfect, and I think after many years searching this is going to be his new favorite.
