A WILLIAM AND MARY SILVER-GILT TAZZA
MARK D POSSIBLY FOR ISAAC DIGHTON OR DEIGHTON, LONDON, 1691
circular on trumpet foot with reeded rims, engraved in centred with a accole coat-of-arms framed by foliate plumes, engraved underneath with number and scratch weight No 18 26:15, marked on dish and underneath foot
The arms are those of Mordaunt impaling O’Brien, for Henry Mordaunt, 2nd Earl of Peterborough (1623-1697) of Drayton House, Northamptonshire and his wife Lady Penelope (d. 1702), daughter of Barnabas O'Brien, 5th Earl of Thomond (b. c. 1590- d. c. 1657), whom he married in 1644.

Henry Mordaunt (1623–1697) was the son of John Mordaunt, 1st Earl of Peterborough, and Elizabeth Howard. He succeeded his father in 1643, shortly after switching allegiance from the Parliamentary army to the Royalists. He served in various military campaigns. After the Restoration of the monarchy, he was appointed Governor of Tangier but faced difficulties with the Berbers before being recalled. He became a close associate of James, Duke of York, and served as an extraordinary ambassador in 1673, facilitating James’s marriage to Princess Mary of Modena.
Mordaunt was a devoted supporter of James II, who rewarded him with several positions, including Groom of the Stole and First Gentleman of the Bedchamber. In 1687, he converted to Catholicism and assisted the king in his purges. However, he lost power after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and was imprisoned in the Tower of London. In 1692, he reconciled with the Anglican Church while remaining a Jacobite sympathizer. He died in 1697 and was buried in Turvey, Bedfordshire. His wife, Lady Penelope O'Brien, survived him, and their daughter Mary became the Duchess of Norfolk. The title of Peterborough then passed to his nephew, Charles Mordaunt, 3rd Earl of Peterborough.
A goblet and cover in the form of a flask, dated 1670–1675 and engraved with the same coat of arms, is now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (gift of Irwin Untermeyer, No. 1970.131.13a, b).
