Quite an early, robust marrow scoop with crisp clear hallmarks, for London 1739, maker John Jacob. The earlier scoops did tend to be heavier but, due to age, did suffer from rubbed, illegible hallmarks. That is what is so exciting, if one could find marrow scoops exciting, about this example. It has all the features you desire: good age, good gauge, good marks. Dimensions: 8.75" long. 2 Troy.oz.

This is a very good quality but highly intriguing set. There are 2 decanters and 10 cups with identical engraving and 2 other cups, indentical in form, size and wrigglework along the rim, but lacking the crest and having a monogram 'D'. They are well executed in the Oriental style with very fine engraved decoration, but bear a Western crest of a raised lion clutching a curved spear/axe above a motto ' CONSTANS CONTRARIA SPERNIT'. On the base of the decanters is the maker 'Gr ...click for details

To be honest I am not sure what it is for but it is a beautiful piece of handwrought sterling by Lebolt. It comes in three pieces: the main pot, of '1 Pint' capacity, with ivory insulators, for, I presume, the hot chocolate or coffee; a smaller pot with just a sterling handle, which presumably is for the milk and then, lastly, the lid. Each piece is fully marked with the Lebolt logo, Lebolt, Handbeaten, Sterling, #281, while the main pot has, in addition, 1Pint. 5.25" total height. ...click for details
