Here is a very elegant pair of sterling vases made by Gorham. The bases are cement-filled, but that is only the lower 1.5". I say this because they are not of flimsy construction. Instead they are sturdy and of a good gauge of sterling.
Each is engraved with a Coat-of-Arms, but to which institution they belong I am not certain. However, they do lend a decorative feature. The motto translates to: "I have chosen the way of truth". It is a popular motto and has been adopted by Elms ...click for details
A small sterling meat platter, of fairly plain form but with a few accents that indicate the work of the grand master, Paul Storr. Oval in form with a reeded border highlighted with shell motifs. Fully hallmarked, including his maker' mark and the date letter, B, for the period July 1797 to May 1798.

This is just a phenomenal sterling-mounted desk set, comprising a large inkwell and a paper-weight. They are both made by Edgar Finley & Hugh Taylor of London in 1900, and fully hallmarked accordingly.
The inkwell consists of a stag-mounted, foliage-covered sterling lid on a heavy lobed crystal body, of square form.Inside the inkwell there is the original sterling-mounted glass inkpot, also hallmarked. The inkwell sits inside a heavy dark-wood base.
The paperweight is similar in design, a ...click for details
This is undoubtedly the very best trophy goblet I have owned. The repousse work is of the highest order in, both, artistry and craftsmanship. No skimping on the sterling either, check the weight ! And, what is more, it is in perfect condition and never been inscribed. I have just had it professionally polished as it was almost black with years of tarnish, and the detail that revealed itself was breathtaking.
Dimensions: 12.5" tall, 6.5" in diameter. Weight 44 Troy oz.
Another good example of Irish silversmithing. Typically, these bowls were made over 100 years previously but, being in such great demand, they have been reproduced since to this very day. This one was made by John Smyth of Dublin in 1892, and is a very pretty and well-made article. It is chased with a rural setting of a dog rescuing, I hope, a person while the mother/wife looks on with her arms raised in relief. The rest of the bowl is chased with a tranquil scene of swans and ducks amidst reeds ...click for details
A very good pair of sterling George III candlesticks made in Sheffield by Samuel Kirkby & Co in 1804. Attractive fluted decoration between the circular bases and the cylindrical columns. What is nice about these candlesticks are the clear hallmarks on the bases and on the bobeches. Very good condition.
Dimensions: 7" high, 4.5" base diameter.
This is a complete set of repousse goblets which does not come on the market very often. This is an old hand decorated set, from the estate of a Maryland family, with marks for 1932-1961. They are in extraordinary condition with fine crisp repousse and a gold wash to the interior. Fully marked under the foot as pictured.
I am selling the set as a whole, not individually.
Dimensions: 6.75" tall. 3.5" in diameter.
A very substantial sterling pitcher by Towle Silversmiths in the Royal Windsor pattern. It is very elegant in style and form with an abundant of fine and detailed decoration. Overall, it is a very good quality pitcher in an attractive pattern. Wonderful condition. A scrolling monogram, I think JW, but there could be another letter in there. Dimensions: 10.5" tall. 36 Troy oz. ...click for details
