GEORGE III SILVER CREAM PAIL

Charles Chesterman, London, 1769

Very rare, the small round pail with a foliate pierced body supported by upright staves, between reeded foot

and upper rims, surmounted by a pierced braided handle; period blown amethyst glass insert (probably original),

with good interior and footrim wear, and snapped pontil

Condition: Excellent; two minor stable manufacturing cracks to staves;

glass insert also in excellent condition; excellent marks

Silver cream pails are somewhat rare small basket or tub form vessels, some reportedly with an accompanying cream ladle.

They are also classified with sweetmeat and sugar baskets, and may have served multiple purposes. This beautifully made

pail is composed of vertical silver staves connected by intricately arranged scrolling foliage, lined with a rich amethyst

glass liner that appears to be original, having adequate wear, bubbling and a snapped pontil.
