London 1772 Solid Silver George III Cream Jug

18th century
Description

London 1772 solid George III English hallmarked silver helmet shaped cream jug to use when serving tea or coffee, standing on spreading pedestal foot. Although the rest of hallmark is quite clear, the makers mark is partially rubbed, so maker is unknown.

This was made 4 years before the US Declaration of Independence!

With hand beaten punch bead decorated edges, and foliate decorated repousse body complemented by a graceful shaped handle with leaf embellished thumb piece, and standing on a pedestal foot with matching punch bead edge.

Possible sign of very old repair below rim on flat area, which was very well done.

Size-4 inches wide with handle by 4 3/8 inches high. 2.5 inch diameter of body.

Weight-75 grams.

Very good gauge of silver, weight and condition, for the great age of over 250 years old!

FAQs

Cream jugs produced during the Georgian era (17141830) evolved from plain baluster shapes to highly ornate vessels. Mid-to-late 18th-century examples often incorporate Rococo-inspired floral repousse or chased decoration, pedestal feet, scalloped rims, and double-scroll handles.

Georgian hollowware was crafted from sterling silver (92.5% silver content). Metalsmiths raised shapes by hand-hammering flat sheets of silver and applied decorative details using chasing, embossing, and punch-work techniques.

Authentic British sterling silver bears a standard set of hallmarks stamped by an assay office. A period piece typically features the lion passant (sterling silver mark), the leopards head (London assay office mark), a specific date letter, and the makers registered initials.

Silver hollowware can be displayed on a dark wood sideboard, marble tray, or inside a glazed cabinet to contrast polished metal against natural textures. Placing a small jug as a singular accent piece creates a focal point without cluttering modern surfaces.

Wash silver in warm water with mild dish soap and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Prevent heavy oxidisation by polishing periodically with a dedicated silver foam or cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip decorative tarnish from low-relief details.
