A silver goblet shaped like a tall, tapered cylinder widens toward the rim and features an extensive serif inscription commemorating the 1940 withdrawal from Dunkirk. The vessel narrows to a tiered base with a decorative ribbed collar and a wide circular foot. Its polished surface reflects light, highlighting the smooth metal and the fine detail of the lettering and the fluted pedestal.
