Excerpt from The Romance of Glass-Making: A Sketch of the History of Ornamental Glass

Upon the leathern case are the initials I. H. C., and these have suggested that the cup at one time had been used for sacred purposes. In this there is nothing improbable. Crusaders returning from the East often brought back with them treasures of Saracenic art, and the cup may easily have come into the keeping of some hermit dwelling near the holy well.
