A very fine large sterling salver by Hester Bateman, clearly hallmarked for London 1788. It is has the fine beaded edge along the circumference and around the 4 tall triangle feet, for which she is famous.
The center is adorned with a splendid coat-of-arms topped with an antlered stags head supporting a Maltese cross. Beneath is the motto:
"GWELL ANGAU NA GHYWILY DD"
I have not been able to trace the arms or the motto.
Apart from some surface scratches it is in very good condition ...click for details

This kitchen nutmeg grater is a very rare form and was made by John
Robins of London in 1814. Actually a reproduction of the earlier,
17th/18th century, more practical examples which were used in the
kitchen, this example was made when silversmiths were searching
around for alternate forms for this very treasured and sought-after
article.
This one has a brass grill, usually steel, enclosed in a shell,
scroll and gadrooned sterling frame. The lower cover is hinged to

I have had numerous small mugs from the Georgian period but never one of this form, and never one that could be described as a child's mug.It has cute applied borders and an attractive cast handle. Never been inscribed. Visible construction seam by the handle and a turned base.
It has some intriguing scratched figures on the base, some small but all very light, that probably pertain to the construction. The most prominent is: 914 = 5" 7 dw. I am not sure of the 914 but 5" 7 dw wou ...click for details
