This goblet was originally purchased by James Smith - ‘Uncle James’, a close family friend of the Jenkins and godfather of the three children, Victoria, Claire and Toby. It was one of a set designed by Louis for the Anglo-Swedish exhibition Modern British Silver and Jewels, in 1970. The precious metal refiners Johnson Matthey sponsored the exhibition, donating 500 ounces of silver to The Crafts Centre, London. 13 designers were then allocated 80 ounces each to create works for the exhibition. Louis produced a standing salt, dishes for traditional Swedish fish courses and a selection of goblets. Other exhibitors included Gerald Benney, John Donald, Gerda Flockinger and Tom Scott. The exhibition was shown first at The Crafts Centre of Great Britain, in London (now Contemporary Applied Arts) and then at the Handicrafts Office (Hantverkets lokaler), in Stockholm.
Matching champagne and wine goblets are held in the permanent collections of the Goldsmiths’ Company, London. In correspondence Louis makes reference to further whiskey, sherry and schnapps goblets he had made in the same suite.
