Quality Silver - Sensible Prices We are offering for sale a lovely example of an early 18th century silver 2-handled porringer or caudle cup. The cup takes the typical round form with two handles and a combination of chased and punched decoration. The lower section of the body is fluted and a rope-work band runs around the upper part. To one side is a scroll enclosed cartouche that is free from engraving and appears to have never been so (no erasures). Porringer...s from the Queen Anne period tend to be found in poor condition, but this one is excellent with neither damage nor repair and a crisp design. The Britannia Standard hallmarks are generally clear too, although the first half of the maker's mark cannot be read (?O). Britannia Standard is the more pure form of silver (95.8% compared with 92.5%) the use of which was compulsory in Great Britain between 1697 and 1720. A really good example at a very sensible price. Please view our specialist site for a further large selection of fine quality Victorian, Georgian and earlier silver. MEASUREMENTS: 8cm (3.1") high; 9.5cm (3.7") diameter top rim; 14.5cm (5.7") wide (incl. handles); 153 grams (4.9 tr.oz.) weight. MARKS: Full set of English hallmarks (guaranteeing Britannia 958 standard silver) for London 1704. CONDITION: Excellent. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions.
