A George III Silver Coffee-Pot, Maker's Mark Rubbed, B?, Possibly BB for Benjamin Bickerton, London, 1763, pear-shaped and on spreading foot, the hinged cover with tapering foliage cast finial and gadrooned rim, engraved with a crest, with later carved-wood handle, 28cm high, gross weight 29oz 11dwt, 920gr

Sold for £600
Estimated at £500 - £800


 

. Fully marked near handle. The cover bezel marked with lion passant only. There is some wear to the mark, though they are still legible with the exception of the maker's mark which is only party legible. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The foot is bruised so the coffee-pot rocks slightly when placed on a flat surface. The handle is slightly ill fitting and is probably a replacement. There is a lead solder repair to the top handle junction where the hole for the pin has been damaged. There is a small area of damage to the cover bezel. The crest is that of Levett of Milford Hall, Staffordshire.
