The quality of this Hock label is of the calibre one would expect from Royal Goldsmiths and indeed this label was made by Scott & Smith who were prime suppliers to Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. The label is in superb condition with just some minor wear to the gilding at the high points of the decoration.
Please see page 77 and figure 283 of "Wine Labels 1730 - 2003" edited by John Salter for further information on this highly regarded label.
