Description

A good sized George III silver milk jug of baluster shape with flared spout, triple reeded rim and shaped strap handle with decorative outer spur. Very pretty bright cut engraved friezes run in layers up the sides, some with geometric waves and circles and some with stylised flowers and foliage. To the front is a vacant shield shaped cartouche with hanging leaf droplet at the base and a snaking ribbon tied in an ornate bow set above. Hallmarked for London 1802, maker Robert Urquhart.

It measures 10.7cm (4 1/4") high, 13.3cm (5 1/4") handle to spout and 7.6cm (3") wide. It weighs 119g / 3.8ozt and can easily accommodate over 1/2 pint / 300ml making it a practical as well as decorative piece.

In excellent condition with no damage, dents or repair. A small surface fault to the lip inside the spout. Minor handling wear, and the engraved decoration remains lovely and crisp. A very nice example.
