Sterling Silver Cream Jug and Sugar Bowl - Antique George IV

Description

This fine composite antique George IV English sterling silver cream jug and sugar bowl set has an oval rounded form; the cream jug has elements of a helmet shaped form.

The body of each component is encircled with embossed convex ribbed decoration flanking a bright cut engraved floral, foliate and acorn decorated festoon.

The lower portion of each piece incorporates two bright cut engraved bordered vacant oval cartouches, amidst paralleling pin struck bordered arches.

The cream jug and sugar bowl are fitted with angular sterling silver handles ornamented with plain thumbpieces.

Each piece is supported by four fine and impressive bracket style Regency feet embellished with scrolling leaf and paw decorated terminals.

These fine examples of antique silverware retain the original gilded interior.

The cream jug was made by Naphthali Hart in 1825 and the sugar bowl was crafted in 1829 by Richard Pierce & George Burrows; they are crafted in the same design as an exact pair.
