History of the Jefferson Cup: In 1806 Thomas Jefferson was willed by his friend and teacher, Georgy Wythe, two large silver cans or beakers of about 20 ounces in weight and of an undetermined design. After using them for several years, Jefferson sent them to John Letelier, A Richmond silversmith, with directions to make eight smaller cups of about 5 ounces weight and 2 5/8 inches high with rounded bottoms. He further stipulated that they be gilded inside and four to be marked "G. W. to T. J." and four "T. J." The completed cups were received at Monticello in October 1810 and were used t until Jefferson's death in 1826. After this seven of the cups were distributed by Martha Randolph, his daughter, amont seven of her children. The eighth cup is believed to have been given to Dr. Robley Dunglison, Jefferson's physician. Of the original eight Jefferson cups, seven have been located and two of them have come back to Monticello. These cups are a reproduction of one of the two now at Monticello and have been approved by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. The Kirk Stieff Company was chosen by the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation to manufacture the Jefferson cup reproductions on an exclusive basis. Any other cup bearing the name Jefferson has no connection with this Foundation.
