Openwork Port Label, c.1770

This is a very scarce form of silver wine label by Margaret Binley. It is a large label with openwork decoration leaving the silver border as vine tendrils with bunches of grapes. The PORT name is also pierced out from a scroll banner and this has resulted in the maker's mark being part cut out too - the "M" is visible making Margaret Binley the prime candidate. This unusual bottle ticket is in great condition.
