With decorative shaped caryatid handles. The quality and colour is excellent. The plain body has a deep embossed band of acanthus leaf decoration. Hand engraved to the front is a contemporary hand engraved coat of arms within a decorative plumage cartouche.

Porringers are two handled bowls and some have a cover. They can also be known as caudle cups although the origin of the porringer was for porridge and the caudle cup was for a type of broth. From the eighteenth century onwards, porringers and cups and covers were used mainly as centrepieces or ornaments. In recent times they have seen a resurgence in popularity for drinking and on the dining table. They make a very attractive baby gift.

With the ribbed body and shell and gadroon borders typical of the period. Engraved to the centre are some stylised initials. Stamped on the underside edge with a full and clear set of English silver hallmarks, the handle with duty mark and lion.

Antique Silver Fruit Baskets are nearly always described as cake baskets but were more commonly used for bread and fruit. Although 17th century versions are known to exist these baskets were not commonly found until about 1735 onwards. Early examples usually have side handles or no handles and tend to be considerably heavier than George III examples and later.
