The Star is one of the most sought-after of all Georgian silver wine label forms and Susanna Barker was one of the main advocates with her attractively engraved examples being the most cherished.
This rare, 12-point star Madeira label is in excellent crisp and original condition with clear hallmarks that include the intaglio duty mark that can accurately date the piece from being made between May 1786 and 1793 when Susanna Barker either died or retired.
