This solid silver open master salt dish has a bowl that measures 2 1/2" in diameter, is 1 3/8" tall, weighs 1.7 T. oz., and stands on three supporting hoof feet legs.
Georgian in style as befits its 1769 date, it has a round body with an applied beaded top rim with an encircling, line detail inscribed 1/8" below this.
Otherwise the bowl is plain, noting that the underside is engraved with a block letter "E * B" monogram, along with full hallmarks including a "leopard head" for London, "lion" for sterling, date letter "O" and the maker's initials "SA" for Stephen Adams (senior).
In excellent condition, this is without bends, dents, or nicks, and shows a warm finish. It sits evenly, remains round, and the marks are legible.
