FAQs

The George III period spans from 1760 to 1820, characterised by neoclassical influences, including clean symmetry, delicate piercing, swag motifs, and classical urns, transitioning from late rococo to refined federal designs.

Georgian salt cellars were traditionally fabricated from sterling silver, often featuring hand-pierced or chased bodies fitted with removable hand-blown cobalt blue glass liners to protect the metal from corrosion.

Authentic pieces bear a combination of hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a makers mark (such as HB for Hester Bateman), a lion passant for sterling standard, a city mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office.

These small vessels can be displayed on a dining table centre, sideboard top, or open shelving as decorative display objects, contrasting polished metal against contemporary wood or stone surfaces.

Clean silver infrequently using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the patina, avoiding harsh dips that strip the aged character, and store them away from humid environments.
