1760s Sterling Silver Beer / Water Jug

About the Item

A magnificent, fine and impressive antique George III English sterling silver beer/water jug; part of our dining silverware collection. 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 bordered 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. * This coat of arms pertains to Major-General Stringer Lawrence, the first Commander-in-Chief of Fort William within the British military. 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'. Condition This large Georgian silver beer jug is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the base are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this Georgian silverware.
