Luck of Edenhall

The "Luck of Edenhall" is an enamelled glass beaker that was made in Syria or Egypt in the middle of the 14th century, elegantly decorated with arabesques in blue, green, red and white enamel with gilding.

William Mounsey of Bottesford wrote: The glass remained intact in the possession of the Musgrave family.

In 1926, the glass was loaned to the Victoria and Albert Museum, and in 1958, it was finally acquired for the nation.

[3] It was the subject of a German ballad by Ludwig Uhland, later rendered in English by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; this wrongly says the glass was shattered:[2] The legend of the Edenhall Cup is mentioned in the first chapter of Anthony Trollope's novel The Small House at Allington saying that guests had to drink from the cup regardless of the danger that it might break.

The Luck of Eden Hall is a pop/Psych/prog band established in Chicago in 1989, with releases on many record labels including Limited Potential (USA), Fruits de Mer Records (UK), Mega Dodo (UK), Headspin Records (NL), Vincebus Eruptum (IT), and has appeared in magazines including Shindig, Prog, Classic Rock, Goldmine, and AP.
