Coin Silver Gravy Boat, c.1825

A fine coin silver gravy boat of good form on three shell-topped hoof feet, beaded rim and leaf-capped scroll handle. It looks earlier than I have dated it but the closest I have come to identifying the maker's mark, S.W & Co, is a reference in Belden to Samuel White of NY, NY, whose mark is S.W, being in a partnership forming a company S.White & Co between 1820-25. Kovel's lists S.White &Co as NY, NY. C.1830, without a maker's mark for the company either. In wonderful condition, nice patina, no pushed-in feet, no monograms or erasures or repairs. Measures 7" long by 4.75" to top of handle. Weighs 9 T.oz.
