Georgian Exeter Silver Cream Jug

18th century
Description

A good example of a Sterling Silver milk or cream jug dating from the early 19th Century. It is an elegant design with a beautifully curved pouring spout and delicate engraved bands of decoration and an ornate shield shaped cartouche on the front.

The jug is good quality, weighing approximately 97g. It is stamped with the Lion Passant for sterling silver but there is no discernible town or date mark. However it is clearly stamped with the maker's mark for Francis Parsons who operated from Exeter between 1800-1820.

It is in good condition for its age. There are some faint surface marks, small dinks and dents and signs of age and use but nothing detrimental and it displays well. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

This Georgian sterling silver cream jug takes the form of an elegant pitcher with a gracefully curved poured spout and a high loop handle extending from the rear rim. The piece displays a reflective silver finish with bright-cut engraved bands tracing the upper collar, a star pattern motif on the body, and an ornate shield-shaped cartouche on the front. Subtle signs of age include faint surface marks and minor dinks across the polished body. Measuring 11 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, the vessel serves well for formal tea service or as a decorative accent atop a sideboard in a dining room or kitchen.

FAQs

Georgian silver cream jugs were produced between 1714 and 1830, characterised by balanced proportions, hand-hammered construction, and hand-engraved or bright-cut decorative motifs.

These vessels were wrought from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver, shaped using silversmithing techniques such as raising and finished with bright-cut engraving.

Authentic Exeter silver features hallmark impressions including the makers mark, the Exeter castle town mark, the lion passant sterling mark, a sovereigns duty mark, and a date letter.

An antique silver cream jug can be displayed on a dining sideboard, arranged among modern ceramics on open shelving, or repurposed as a vessel for small floral arrangements.

Silver should be washed gently in warm water with mild liquid soap and polished periodically using a specialised non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent tarnish while protecting natural patina.
