Description

A superb ornate antique Britannia standard silver porringer with plain cartouche and floral/foliate pattern

Assay Office

London

Date

1710

Maker

William Gamble

Condition*

4- Very good with very good marks. The porringer has a pleasing patina (I have left it uncleaned) and its pattern is crisp and well preserved, except in two small patches (see above). The porringer has a few long-ish surface scratches on both its interior and exterior surfaces, but they do not correspond. Likewise, the three or four small crazed patches on the interior and exterior bear no relation to each other. The base of its interior is rather dirty/tarnished but the porringer is generally in very good condition: the rim is proud, describing close to a perfect circle, and has remarkably few nicks.
