(ERAF) a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. ***The classic Kentucky Mint Julep cup, re-imagined by Louisville artisan Thomas Wilson and adorned with gleaming silver plate horse and jockey design. Thomas D. Wilson created beautiful metalwork and fine jewelry for over 30 years, and his signature item — the Wilson Cup — has been sold worldwide since 1983. In making these commemorative cups, traditional techniques are used in conjunction with a new and wholly unique technology developed by the artist himself. After the cup is formed on a spinning mandrill, the artists attaches a sculptured casting — a horse head, a company logo, or any other image a customer may desire — created by Thomas D. Wilson and cast in the lost-wax technique.The cup is then coated with a fine silver in the Sheffield plate method of silverware manufacturing. Handcrafted in Louisville, Kentucky.
