The cup rises in a long, tapered urn shape from a turned, stepped foot, and the two handles sweep up and out into curled leaf tips, each one cast with a fine laurel pattern down the length. Across the front, in block engraving: \u003cem\u003eAnthony J. Grossi Award.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass has gone soft and warm with age, bright in places and darkening in the hollows, with the scratches and small dents you'd expect from something that sat on a shelf for decades. It's the kind of piece that anchors a bookshelf or a mantel, and it does just as well holding dried stems, feathers, or brushes, as it does standing empty. It's a stunning piece of borrowed history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19\" H x 10\" W (at handles) x 6 1\/4\" W (at cup)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estimated mid-20th century \u003cem\u003e(based on the form, engraving style, and wear)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Likely American \u003cem\u003e(estimated from the trophy form and engraving)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature\/mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e No maker's mark visible; front engraved: \"ANTHONY J.
