Bulldog Stirrup Cup 

 

The Salisbury Bulldog Stirrup Cup is a remarkable blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and charm, making it a standout piece for any bulldog enthusiast or collector of distinctive barware. Rooted deeply in British hunting heritage, the stirrup cup was originally used as a farewell toast before riders embarked on their hunts. The custom called for a quick dram of spirits while the rider’s feet remained in the stirrups, giving the cup its unique name. This cup captures that timeless ritual, adding an element of history and intrigue to your bar collection.

Crafted from high-quality pewter, the cup is shaped into the fierce yet loyal face of a bulldog — an emblem of strength and steadfastness. The pewter finish offers a rich, classic look that ages gracefully, making the cup as much a decorative piece as a functional one. Holding about 5 ounces, it is perfectly sized for a generous pour of whiskey, brandy, or your preferred spirit. One of the most delightful features of this stirrup cup is its design, which allows you to stand it upside down to fill it, then flip it back upright to drink — an impressive nod to its historical use and a charming way to serve guests.

Beyond its functionality, the Salisbury Bulldog Stirrup Cup serves as a captivating conversation starter, blending British tradition with a playful canine motif. Whether displayed proudly on a home bar or used to toast special occasions, it carries with it a sense of heritage and personality that resonates with collectors and casual drinkers alike. Weighing in at approximately eight ounces due to its solid pewter construction, it has a satisfying heft that feels substantial without being unwieldy.

This cup also makes an excellent gift, whether for someone passionate about bulldogs, British culture, or fine barware. To preserve its elegant pewter finish, hand washing is recommended, with care taken to avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing. The Salisbury Bulldog Stirrup Cup invites you to enjoy both the story and the spirit of a centuries-old tradition, making every toast a memorable one.
