Victorian Silver Cream Jug & Sugar Bowl, 1888
This is an attractive Victorian Sterling Silver Bachelor Cream Jug & Sugar Bowl Set. Both pieces have rectangular bases on four ball feet with part reeded bodies topped by embossed vine decoration below a crimped rim. The interior of the cream jug is gilded. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The cream jug and sugar bowl were made in London by renowned silversmiths Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater and date to 1888. The firm was founded in 1838 by Henry Holland and Thomas Frercks, who left the partnership in 1841. Henry Holland then continued by himself before being joined by his son, Henry Jnr in 1851. After Henry Snr’s retirement in 1883, John Aldwinckle and James Slater joined as partners to form Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater. The firm continued to be managed by various members of these three families until the firm was bought out by Francis Higgins in 1922.
Condition is very good, with just two small dings on one side of the sugar bowl plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 135 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The cream jug is 7.7cm / 3ins from lip to handle, 5.8cm / 2.3ins across the body and stands 5.5cm / 2.1ins high. The sugar bowl is 9.8cm / 3.8ins from handle to handle, 6.5cm / 2.5ins across the body and stands 6cm / 2.4ins high. The two pieces together weigh in at a very respectable 92.8g / 3.27oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the undersides of the bases, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter N for 1888, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the J A over T S makers' mark for John Aldwinckle and Thomas Slater of Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater.
Shipping in the UK is £10 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the set.
