Sterling Silver Beer/Water Jug - Antique George III (1766)

Description

This magnificent antique Georgian sterling silver beer jug has a plain baluster form onto a circular spreading foot.

The body of this impressive jug is embellished with a bright cut engraved scrolling leaf bodered cartouche displaying a contemporary coat of arms depicting a cross raguly.

This impressive example of antique silverware is fitted with a cast sterling silver S scroll handle ornamented with a scrolling leaf thumbpiece.

The beak style spout of this sterling silver jug is embellished with a vase-shaped moulding with a drop shaped form to the nadir.

The circular spreading foot is embellished with bands of tooled decoration.

This exceptional beer jug is a large example and the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

NOTE: The London Assay Office have missing records in the Smallworkers' Register (1739-1758) and Largeworkers' Register (1758-1773), and it can be determined that this maker's mark was registered within this timeframe. Due to this unfortunate event we are unable to associate a maker to this jug and the Grimwades book confirms this maker as "unidentified".

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
