Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This is an outstanding piece of    Georgian silver. It is a hefty barrel-shaped vessel that break in two at the    middle to form two separate beakers. The interiors retain their original    gilt finish and the exteriors bear engraved crests of a goat's head. Both    cup bases bear full sets of hallmarks and the initials "MB" of the    original owners.

The condition is superb with a fabulous original patina. The    two beakers fit perfectly together to make up the barrel..

This type of piece was produced for just a few short years    at the turn of the 18th/19th centuries and are sometimes known as "Hob    'n' Nob Beakers". This double beaker is a first rate example of the    type.
