It was listed by Andrew Cox Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Andrew Cox Antiques has dated this George III Silver Wine Funnel to the Georgian era.
The spout of the funnel is curved to allow wine to spread across the decanter neck or side of the glass. Surface contact with air increases and this promotes oxygenation, bringing out the full flavours of the wine.
The strainer is rounded, with a wide mouth and finished with a gadroon rim. To one side is a shaped clip for attaching to decanter or Claret jug and the centre is pierced with attractive geometric holes. A wonderful, usable piece of good gauge Georgian silver. Dimensions below.
