The cup for sale is believed to have been part of Captain Cook's medicine chest at sea, at a time when naval captains held great store by the use of such devices on their travels.
When the antimony cup was exhibited at the Royal Naval Exhibition at Chelsea in 1891 it was labelled: "Metal cup and case taken by Captain Cook on his voyages around the world, lent by Viscount Galway."
According to Christie's the cup was probably among Cook relics bought by the fifth Viscount Galway from the sale of effects of Admiral Isaac Smith, who was Mrs Cook's cousin and who accompanied Captain Cook on his first and second voyages.
