This 18th century Georgian cream pail is an 18th century sterling silver tableware piece by Godbehere & Wigan, London, 1788. The item combines silver and cobalt blue, showcasing an openwork pierced lattice framework enclosing an original removable cobalt blue glass liner. Additional details visible include bright-cut floral engraving, a beaded swinging overhead handle, a blank cartouche with original owner's initials, and maker's marks located on the rim of the base. The piece measures 6.7 cm in height and 7.5 cm in width. In a contemporary home, this cream pail suits placement on a sideboard top during formal dining or as a decorative accent display in a living space. The construction maintains very good condition with a sturdy upright handle.

FAQs

Introduced during the 18th century, a silver cream pail is a small bucket-shaped vessel featuring openwork piercing and a coloured glass liner, designed to serve cream or sugar at the tea or dining table.

These vessels were crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, incorporating decorative bright-cut engraving and geometric lattice piercing, paired with a fitted cobalt blue glass insert.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks stamped onto the rim or base, including the makers mark, silver purity mark, assay office mark, and date letter corresponding to the Georgian period.

Place the item on a dining sideboard, dressed tray, or shelf alongside complementary antique glassware and silver items to add depth and textural interest to the decor.

Clean the glass liner separately using warm soapy water, and polish the sterling silver structure with a soft cloth and specialized silver foam, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip detailing.
