Queen Anne Britannia Standard Silver Bleeding Bowl 1702

17th century
Description

A fantastic survivor! A solid silver bleeding bowl dating from the reign of Queen Anne.

The hallmarks on the side are remarkably clear, and they are for London 1702 with the maker's mark of John Cory. This is Britannia Standard silver, recognisable by the stamp of Britannia with her shield, rather than the lion passant of sterling silver. Britannia Standard silver has a higher purity (95.8%, as opposed to the 92.5% for sterling silver) and was introduced in 1696, just six years before the creation of this bleeding bowl.

It is in an amazing condition given its age. The cast handle carries partial hallmarks and is firmly attached to the body. The handle has initials (H*T).

Dimensions:

Silver Weight: 99g

Length: 16cm

Width: 10cm

Height: 3.5cm.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Historically associated with 17th and 18th-century medical procedures, these shallow silver vessels feature a flat, pierced handle used for stability, though many served dual purpose as domestic porringers or wine tasting bowls.

Introduced in England in 1697 to prevent the melting of coinage, Britannia standard silver has a millesimal fineness of 958, containing 95.8% pure silver, which is higher than standard sterling silver at 92.5%.

Authentic English silver from the Queen Anne period (17021714) features specific hallmarks including the figure of Britannia, a lions head erased, a date letter, and a makers mark comprising the first two letters of the silversmiths surname.

Small antique silver vessels serve as historical accent pieces when displayed on a sideboard top, curated within a bookshelf display, or placed alongside antique glassware in a dining setting.

Maintain historical silver by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a specialized non-abrasive silver cream sparingly to clean tarnish without stripping the underlying patina or damaging hand-engraved details.
