About the Item
An elegant and finely executed set of three George III period silver nesting beakers, crafted in London circa 1800. Each beaker fits snugly within the other, forming a compact and practical ensemble that reflects both refined taste and functional design.
The exteriors are polished to a brilliant sheen, while the interiors of all three vessels are richly gilded, offering a luxurious contrast and enhancing their visual appeal. Most striking is the meticulously engraved coat of arms on the face of each beaker—a heraldic emblem rendered with exceptional precision. The armorial features two crowned beasts in a formal heraldic composition: a griffin rampant on the left and a fox on the right, both crowned and facing inward, suggesting the crest’s importance as a marker of lineage, family identity, or institutional affiliation.
These symbols, steeped in historical and allegorical meaning, are likely associated with a distinguished family or organization, their placement on each beaker underscoring the noble heritage or prestige they represent.
An exceptional example of early 19th-century English silver, this nesting set unites refined engraving, utilitarian form, and heraldic tradition into a cohesive and distinguished whole.
