A rare 18th century silver decanter label of very small size, made for a small individual decanter known as "one go" decanter that would have been taken up to bed in the evening holding a nightcap. It is a simple oval shape with double reeded edge and engraved for Rum. Made by the highly collected female silversmith Elizabeth Morley, an early example of her work, stamped with her maker initials and hallmarked with the lion passant, the head of King George and the London date letter for 1797.
It measures 3.2cm (1 1/4") wide by 1.7cm (5/8") high and it weighs with the chain 4g / 0.1ozt.
In excellent condition with no damage or repair and very minor handling wear, just a short scratch to the back. The marks are all lovely and clear.
