Description

An early George III silver sugar caster with clear hallmarks for London 1766. The maker’s mark is a single italic W - not the usual two initials and there were a number of makers using this initial in the second half of the 18thc. One possibility is William Grundy, known for hollow ware, and other possibles are William Turner or William Watkins. The caster has been cast in the classic Georgian design for this item, with a bulbous body, pedestal base and fitted detachable caster top. The caster top is pierced and bright cut, with a delicate ring turned pinnacle. The size suggests that this was a personal caster, for use by its owner. A very classic piece in excellent condition, given that it is well over 200 years old.
