Product Description
A can shaped George III sterling argyle by the Royal silversmith Thomas Heming, London 1773.
A rare article which has seen some history. No damage or repairs but numerous tiny dings. No crest or inscription.
It is fully hallmarked under the base with partial hallmarks, maker's mark and lion passant, under the lid and on the body near the foot.
Also has the scratch weight 13''. This is the original weight in Troy oz. As expected, due to erosion of the silver by polishing, the present weight is a bit less.
The rarity lies chiefly with the maker. Thomas Heming, who obtained his first mark in 1745, was the Principal Goldsmith to George III during the period 1760-82.
Dimensions: 5” to top of finial. Weight: 12.5 Troy oz.
