Description

This is a magnificent Georgian solid silver cream jug with very finely embossed rural scenes. Standing on a pedestal foot it bears hallmarks for London 1781 and the maker's mark for Charles Hougham. The embossing work is really very fine and is worth describing: on one side a house sits between stylized trees with a cow lying in the foreground; on the other side a pheasant flies over a large plant and past a tree while a dog watches from below in front of a hut or small house. There is a cartouch under the spout which is engraved with the initials "ILI".

Measurements: 11.2 x 10.2 x 6.0 cms approx.

Weight: 76.95 grams approx.

CONDITION (see photos):

This jug is in really lovely condition. There are no discernible dings or scratches. The hallmarks are good and clear with only slight rubbing and are still perfectly legible.
