Would you have your own name engraved on a gift you had made for someone else?
In 1713, when Queen Anne appointed Robert Benson, or 1st Baron Bingley, as ambassador to the Spanish court, he was sent with what are now known as the Bingley cups. Leading London goldsmith Phillip Rollos the Younger made these enormous cups, each with a cover and salver, to be displayed as status symbols when Bingley hosted officials and diplomats. The cups showed the wealth and skill of Britain.
To get a sense of the maker's skill, have a look at the description of the photo (in its ALT text).
Each cup is finely engraved, on the side, with Queen Anne's perfectly lettered monogram, AR—appropriate since Bingley was representing Anne.
Museums often hold such objects on behalf of the UK government, which accepts them as payment of inheritance tax bills. In this way, some of the crown's past wealth returns to the nation.
