GEORGE IV SILVER DISH

Philip Rundell, London, 1821

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A low, round bowl of lobed form, the scalloped rim with shells and scrolls; two opposing engraved crests of a

unicorn's head, ducally gorged, the outer rim marked "3", as if an insert, but not showing usage marks for lid or underplate 

 

Note: Silver bearing the mark of Philip Rundell is relatively scarce. Rundell took over his master's shop about 1785,

but took on John Bridge as a partner shortly thereafter. In 1805, he also took on his nephew and the firm became

known as Rundell, Bridge and Rundell. The shop was remarkably successful, largely due to Rundell's ability to attract

talented artisans, including the renowned silversmith Paul Storr in 1807, and sculptors William Theed and later, John

Flaxman. In 1819, Storr left the manufactory and Rundell, for the first time, registered his own mark, which he used

only briefly, until his retirement in 1823.
