Antique Silver George III Tureen William Bennett 1808 Birchall and Hayne 19th C

19th century
For Sale by Regent Antiques
Description

This is a beautiful antique English George III sterling silver tureen and lid, with hallmarks for London 1808 and the makers mark WB for William Bennett.

The tureen is beautiful in its simplicity.

There is an engraved crest and a fabulous coat of arms which I have had researched:

The Marital Arms of Families of Birchall and Hayne

The arms as engraved upon this George III English Sterling Silver Tureen by William Bennett hallmarked London 1808 are those of Birchall impaling Hayne. These armorial bearings denote the marshalling of a marital coat showing on the dexter (the heraldic right on the left as you view the piece) the arms of the husband and on the sinister (the heraldic left on the right as you view it) the arms of the wife. These armorial bearings may be blazoned as follows:

Arms:

(on the dexter) Argent on a chevron between three cross crosslets fitchy sable as many fleurs de lis of the first (for Birchall)

(on the sinister) Or on a fess gules three bezants in chief a greyhound courant proper (for Hayne)

Crest: A lion rampant azure supporting a tree vert (for Birchall)

Upon the balance of probability and without any evidence to the contrary these armorial bearings commemorate the marriage of an unnamed gentleman of the Birchall family who hailed from the Counties of Chester and Stafford to an unnamed daughter of a family of the Hayne family around the date of the manufacture and hallmarking of this particular piece. It is supposed that the Birchalls took their name from Birchill in the County of Cheshire this being the original spelling of the name.

The style of the engraving of both arms and crest are contemporary with the date cited.

It is a lovely piece which would be appreciated by both collectors and those who would like to use it at their next dinner party.

Condition:

In excellent condition with clear hallmarks and no dings, dents or signs of repair. Please see photos for confirmation.

FAQs

A Georgian silver tureen is a covered serving vessel crafted from sterling silver during the reign of Kings George I through George IV, typically used for serving soup, sauce, or stew at formal dining tables.

These tureens were raised from solid sterling silver, consisting of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability, often featuring cast handles and hand-engraved armorial details.

Authenticity is determined by examining British hallmarks stamped on the body and lid, which include the lion passant for sterling quality, a town mark, date letter, sovereign duty mark, and makers initials.

An antique silver tureen works well as a refined centrepiece on a dining table, displayed atop a modern sideboard, or filled with decorative greenery and floral arrangements.

Clean silver regularly using a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, dishwasher cleaning, or storing in rubber containers that cause tarnish and oxidisation.
