RARE CORK 1770s IRISH PROVINCIAL STERLING GRAVY BOAT

Presented is a rare, Irish provincial sterling silver gravy boat of large size and weight made by Carden Terry of Cork Ireland between 1765 and 1795. The boat is done in a classical form of the times. The rim has a wonderful, beaded edge and the body is raised on three shell or leaf form feet. The handle has a nice acanthus leaf accent on the top. There is an engraved crest on one side of a stag or elk raising one leg..

The underside is marked CT twice and sterling. There is somewhere to the maker\'s mark, as should be expected, but the maker\'s mark is sharp and clear enough to easily and definitively attribute this piece to Carden Terry. We have shown a photograph of the same exact hallmark as shown in Ian Pickard’s Jackson’s Silver & Gold Marks of England, Scotland & Ireland. In addition, a pair of nearly identical sauce boats is pictured on page 64 plate number 57 of John Bowen and Conor O\'Brien\'s book: Cork Silver and Gold Four Centuries of Craftsmanship.

This piece is in excellent overall condition for its age. There are some minor dings to the body, but there are no other flaws and no repairs.

The boat measures 8 5/8 inches from handle to spout, is 4 1/4 inches tall and weighs 339 grams or 11.9 ounces.

Good luck and offer with confidence.
