GEORGE III SILVER PIERCED SERVER
Charles Aldridge & Henry Green
London, 1773
Of the very desirable triangular pierced and bright cut form, the blade pierced with foliate scrolls and circles with
finely gadrooned edge, floriform attachment to a double C-scroll shaft; original turned wood handle with finely
engraved collar at ferrule
.
Condition: Excellent; without breaks or repairs to the piercing; crisp marks;
minor slight bend to one corner of the blade (visible in images);
the wooden handle with two small chips to the collar at ferrule
The second half of the 18th century saw the introduction of a trowel-form pierced server, used at the time for both
fish and pudding. The workmanship on the early examples is rather extraordinary - with intricate foliate-cut designs
to the triangular blade, further embellished with bright cutting. They are now used for serving a great variety of foods -
most particularly pastries. These triangular forms are the most sought after of the fish serving pieces.
5.5 oz
