This fine pair consists of an antique Victorian English sterling silver cream jug and sugar bowl.
Both pieces have an oval boat shaped form onto a collet foot.
The lower portion of the body of each component is embellished with embossed fluted and bead decoration in a swirl design below an embossed and chased scrolling border accented with floral and foliate designs.
The ornamentation to the body of each piece incorporates a scroll bordered shaped vacant cartouche to one side.
The cream jug and sugar bowl are fitted with angular sterling silver handles embellished with plain applied moulded decoration.
These fine examples of antique silverware have an applied moulded rim and retain the original gilded interiors.
ConditionThe antique Victorian cream jug and sugar bowl are a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition
The embossed and chased decoration is very sharp.
The gilt interior shows sign of wear in keeping with age.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each piece are all very clear; the maker’s mark to each piece is slightly rubbed due to their location.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique silverware.
