The silver maker Robert Barbedour was one of the thousands of French Huguenot refugees that fled persecution in France, following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Many of these were highly skilled craftsmen and artists.. A considerable number fled to Jersey and Guernsey, where they were made welcome, and continued to work.. A number of Barbedour's pieces are present in Channel Island museums and in private collections.. The Forest Church in Guernsey own two silver wine cups with his mark over struck, and there exists a silver platter in St Helier's Church Jersey with identical marks to the three on this punch bowl. The motto on the punch bowl is most curious, and raises questions, some unanswered. It replaces the usual mottoes associated with the Dumaresq family of Jersey, and indicates that the recipient of this bowl was rewarded for a considerable act of courage or bravery.. The inscription translates as; 'An Intrepid Courage Merits Recompense'. There was an Edouard Dumaresq born in Jersey 1640 who married Elizabeth Anthoine in 1666. He became Centenier of the parish of St Saviour Jersey from 1675-1687 and Procurer of the same parish in 1676.

These chalices are listed on page 234 of the book - Old Scottish Communion Plate by The Reverend Thomas Burns, published in 1892.. It states that they bear a strong resemblance to 'The Tolbooth Cups'. The Haddington chalices would have been used at large church assemblies for the drinking of port wine, and for congregation in St Martins Kirk, Haddington, which still exists, but sadly only as a ruin.. The columns of the chalices unscrew from the bowls, which would have made transportation and concealment more convenient.. The Haddington Kirk is all that remains of an original 12th century building, known to be one of the oldest surviving churches in Scotland.. St Martins formed part of the original Cistercian Abbey that was founded by Ada, the daughter of King David I in 1178.
