It was listed by The Fancy Fox. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Fancy Fox has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
It is finished with a rope twist to the rim and foot and matching swing handle. Unmarked but tested as silver, c.1790-1800.
It measures 10.5cm (4 1/8") high with the handle up, 6.3cm (2 1/2") to the rim and 8cm (3 1/8") wide.
Condition is very good. There is a very small slither chip to the outside edge of the liner but this is minimally detracting. No losses or damage to the silver, there is very fractional distortion to the frame in places and slightly to the handle as is often the case with wirework pieces but it is very minor.
The Fancy Fox has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
