A Rare 18th Century Early Sheffield Silver Port Decanter Label

18th century
Description

A very rare 18th Century silver decanter label with early Sheffield assay hallmarks. This wonderful piece is rectangular in shape with squared corners and a reeded border. To the centre is the word 'Port' in pricked capitals. The label is supported on a belcher chain and the hallmarks to the rear are crisp and well struck.

The Sheffield assay office opened in 1773, with this label being marked in 1792, making it within the first 20 years of items to be assayed at the famous and long lived office.
