Sterling Silver Sugar Caster - Antique George V (1922)

Description

This fine antique George V sterling silver sugar caster has a plain panelled baluster shaped form onto a spreading domed foot.

The surface of the caster is plain and encompassed with applied moulded borders.

This sterling silver caster retains the original hallmarked push fit cover, embellished with pierced scrolling decoration in addition to an applied moulded border to the rim.

The cover is surmounted by an impressive sterling silver panelled baluster shaped finial.

The underside of this antique sugar caster bears the retailer’s mark ‘Reid & Sons, Newcastle On Tyne’ in addition to the registration number ‘R^D631976’.

Although this item of teaware displays the London Assay Office hallmarks, it was crafted by the provincial Newcastle silversmiths Reid & Sons; the Newcastle Assay Office closed in 1884, therefore assayed in London.
