GEORGE III SILVER BRANDY SAUCEPAN (WARMER)

Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp, London, 1774

 

 

 

 

     

 

     

    

Of heavy gauge silver, usual form with a side spout and folded edge, turned wooden handle,

and engraved on the ferrule with a griffin out of a ducal coronet, holding a star

 

Condition: Excellent; 2 minor dents to base; slight area of light pitting to silver beneath spout; very crisp marks

 

Note on Smith & Sharp: "The firm supplied Parker & Wakelin, and Wakelin & Taylor, as well as Jeffreys, Jones

& Gilbert after the latter's appointment as Royal Goldsmiths in 1784. One images that the plate in Carlton House

may largely have come from their hands". Grimwade, p. 655

 

Brandy saucepans or warmers were probably used to warm butters and sauces as well we brandy.  They

   have changed little in form from the Queen Anne period through the mid-19th century - their latest appearance.

Those in the early 18th century tend to be smaller, while the latter 18th century are larger, often half pint in capacity. 

They differ from skillets in being without legs.

 

 2 1/4"H x 3 1/4"H, 8 ½” over the handle

 

7.2 total weight
