George II Silver Cream Jug 1756

This ANTIQUE SILVER CREAM JUG is a real piece of history. Made almost 20 years before the American War of Independence started (1775) this lovely Silver Jug has survived for over 265 years having been made in 1756.

Of classic Georgian design and raised on a decorated, stepped base, this stunning Jug would originally have been undecorated but will have had the beautiful repousse decoration of flowers and scrolls now present added during Victorian times.

Surprisingly, despite having a large cartouche within the decoration, it is free from any added engravings, initials or monograms.

During its long life it has obviously been well used and is not without the odd blemish (unsurprising given its age !) but clearly the previous owners appreciated this fabulous Silver Cream Jug enough to ensure its continued use.

A stunning Georgian Silver Cream Jug which would look superb in any table setting and would be a real talking point or would enhance any silver collection.
