It’s in superb original condition with a lovely colour and patina, measuring approximately 46cm or 18 1/4” wide. The Temperance Basin is one of the most copied artworks from the Renaissance period , the original being designed around 1585. Of note is also its link to Tennis fame ,a version of this piece is the trophy presented every year to the winner of Wimbledon Ladies Singles Championships made by Elkington.
