THE VENUS ROSEWATER DISH by Elkington & Co, Birmingham - a cast salver of an original electrotype by Caspar Enderlein from the Pewter original in the Louvre, the central boss depicting Sophrosyne surrounded by Minerva presiding over the seven liberal arts: astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, music, rhetoric, dialectic and grammar, the ground with renaissance strapwork, reel moulded border, 45cm in diameter A number of 19th-century editions thus claim a connection to the Wimbledon trophy although only one is an exact replica. The mould in which the Venus Rosewater Basin was electroformed was made from a plaster cast sold to Elkingtons in around 1849, by the German archaeologist, Dr. Emil Braun (1809-56). It was taken from the Louvres Enderlein dish. The V&A's electrotype made by Elkingtons in 1852 was moulded from the same plaster cast, 12 years before the creation of the trophy.Spectacular Renaissance Style Elkington Venus Rosewater Centerpiece Charger - Tempe Rantia - 19th Century. The Venus Rosewater Dish, also known as the Temperantia Charger or Salver, is a Renaissance style sliver plated example of the solid silver example made by Elkington & Co Ltd in 1864 that is presented annually to the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Lawn Tennis Champion. This magnificent 19th century English Victorian charger is after the original 16th century French salver cast by Francois Briot (1550-1616), exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The Renaissance style dish is richly ornamented in spectacular quality detailed relief with a female figure holding a cup and a pitcher centering a medallion inscribed Tempe Rantia, Goddess of Wisodom. The charger is ornately decorated with four panels of allegorical figures of the Elements named Aqua, Terra, Ignis et Aer (Water, Earth, Fire and Air) adorned with foliate and masks. Revolving around them, the banded decoration within borders of strapwork, birds, masks and fruits, depicts allegorical cartouches of the seven Liberal Arts named Grammatica, Dialectica, Rhetorica, Arithmetiqua, Geometria, Astrologia, Musica, complemented by Minerva. This is unmarked, but believed to be Elkington.
