Maker's hallmarks appear stamped on the exterior wall of the vessel. Measuring 15.5 cm high by 11 cm wide and 6 cm deep, this item functions as a serving vessel for cream or milk.

FAQs

George V era silver, produced between 1910 and 1936, frequently features Neoclassical revival elements, clean silhouettes, and refined restraint, drawing inspiration from 18th-century Georgian forms.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 per cent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability, often raised and shaped by hand hammering and spinning.

Authentic British sterling silver bears a full set of official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, an assay town symbol, a specific date letter, and a registered makers mark.

A silver cream jug can be placed on a dining sideboard or tray, styled as a small stem vase for fresh flowers, or grouped with other silver hollowware for a curated display.

Wash gently in warm water with mild dish soap using a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly before polishing occasionally with a specialised non-abrasive silver polish to prevent tarnish build-up.
