About the Item

Very Rare Irish Provincial Silver Sugar Bowl, mark of John Hackett C.1780. Height: 6.35 cm Width: 12.7 cm. Weight: 168 grams. Condition: Very good. The swirl fluted body with wavy crimped everted rim and small foliate interval decoration, raised on three shell knuckle stepped hoof feet. The decoration around the base interior and underside of a repeated pattern of tapered and punch like alternate foliate flutes conforming to upper body swirl design. Crest that of demi lion rampant grasping a pennant. John Hackett was recorded as being located at Pennywell Road Limerick in 1770 Limerick Silver is very scarce and prized. In this case the small foliate impressions are noted for provincial rather than Dublin silver and typify the vernacular distinctiveness of this Limerick bowl. There was no assay office known to have existed in Limerick. For security reasons and to save on duty, relatively little silver made in Ireland’s regional towns and cities was sent to Dublin for official assay. Instead, local silversmiths stamped their own wares with a maker’s mark and the word Sterling, or occasionally a town mark. Like Cork, the Limerick silversmiths seem to have the word Sterling or variations during the 18th century - early 19th century. Most domestic silver made in Limerick dates from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Throughout this time, only 110 silversmiths worked in the city and many of these also ran other businesses such as clock making.
