A George III Provincial Silver Two-Handled Cup
by John Langlands and John Robertson, Newcastle, Probably 1786

inverted bell-shape and on spreading foot with beaded border, chased, possibly later, with foliage scrolls, centring a vacant cartouche on one side, with two leaf-capped scroll handles
23cm high, 40oz 4dwt, 1,250gr

A similar example from the same year and engraved with an inscription from John Robertson to William Kerr dated 1787 was sold Doyle, New York, 30 October 2019, lot 278.

Sold for £800
Estimated at £700 - £1,000


 

Fully marked on foot. There is some wear to the mark, though in general each is still legible. There is some surface scratching and wear overall, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a softening to the high points. The chasing is perhaps later.
