About the Item

This very fine piece stands on a circular pedestal foot decorated with reeding and engraved with stylised foliate bright cutting. The Classical vase shaped main body rises to a reeded band above a beautiful band of flower heads in octagonal frames. The front displays a shield shaped cartouche engraved with contemporary script initials surrounded by a very finely executed cartouche of drapery mantling. The base of the neck is decorated with a band of prick dot bands and foliate motifs and also rises to a reeded rim. The bright cut domed, hinged, cover terminates in an urn finial. The jug displays its original fruitwood handle and is in excellent, crisp, condition. The base displays a crisp set of hallmarks and the underside of the cover is marked with the sterling mark. John Roberts was a prolific maker who specialised in tea and coffee wares, always with fine finish. Measures: Height: 12 inches, 30cm. Diameter, at the widest point: 5 inches, 12.5cm Weight: 27oz.

18th Century Wine Jug George III England 1kg Sterling Silver Peter & Ann Bateman
By Peter and Ann Bateman
Located in Epfach, DE
18th Century Wine Jug George III England 1kg Sterling Silver Peter & Ann Bateman This impressive wine jug, made in 1795 during the reign of King George III, is an artistic example of the work of the renowned silversmiths Peter and Ann Bateman. The jug rests on a curved base with an elegant fluted profile on the rim and is decorated with a surrounding frieze of leaf motifs in fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving. The indented stem and the amphora-shaped body with vertically curved walls give the jug a classic look. The curved mouth rim with beak-shaped spout ensures harmonious lines, while the hinged lid is domed in the centre and crowned by a spherical knob. The curved wooden C-handle stylishly rounds off the design and provides a comfortable grip. The wide frieze with leaf and flower motifs on the wall, executed in extremely fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving, is particularly noteworthy. The front of the jug is also engraved with initials, giving the piece a personal touch. The wine jug bears a full set of London silver stamps on the underside, which prove its authenticity and the year of manufacture. Works by Peter and Ann Bateman are recognised for their high quality craftsmanship and can be found in major collections worldwide. This exceptional sterling silver example combines elegance and the finest engraving skills and is a valuable collector's item of late 18th century English silver...
