In 1889, records show that four Beakers were held by Kelso Museum. All the objects were discovered in the vicinity of The Friar's, a cottage to the west of Kelso, situated on the banks of the Teviot. One of these Beakers was later given on permanent loan to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland.
Museum records note that the beakers were all found in 1815; they were all decorated in similar fashion and were of roughly similar sizes. No details are recorded about their discovery.
