About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George III English sterling silver condiment caster/muffineer; an addition to our Georgian silverware collection. This exceptional and large antique Georgian sterling silver sugar caster has an ovoid shaped form onto a circular spreading pedestal foot. The body of the antique silver caster is embellished with the contemporary bright cut engraved crest of a man's head in profile couped at the shoulders, on the head a ducal coronet, issuing therefrom a cap tasselled and turned forward*. The body, cover and cast foot are further ornamented with applied reed decorated borders to the rims. This large Georgian silver muffineer/caster retains the original hallmarked push fit cover, embellished with pierced decorated holes. This exceptional Georgian caster, crafted by the renowned silversmiths Peter, Ann William Bateman, is a large example for its type and the finest of its type you could hope to acquire; it can be determined the piece was specifically crafted for condiments. A George III silver caster or muffineer is a refined, timeless gift for weddings, anniversaries and milestone birthdays. Prized by collectors of Georgian silver, it marries historic character with enduring craftsmanship and understated elegance. * This crest pertains to the family name Bourcher/Bourchir/Bourchier/Bourchier-Chilcott, however other variants are possible. NOTE: The early condiment vessels once called 'castors' were used for dry mustard, sugar or pepper; early sugar examples, often known as 'muffineers', featured larger piercings for crushed sugar. Condition This antique caster is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the body and part hallmarks to the sleeve of the cover are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of antique Georgian silver teaware.
