    Description

    Offering a beautiful English sterling shaker - for pepper, sugar or other spices - take your pick!
    Hallmarked with the crowned leopard head, lion passant, date mark and partial maker's mark.  No duty mark. The hallmarks indicate sterling, London assay in 1781 and maker - TW - likely the silversmith Thomas Wallis II, another possibility was Thomas Wright.  The hallmarks are on the base of the shaker and also on the rim of the cap, but only the lion and maker's mark are visible on the cap.
    Measures 5-1/4" tall and weighs a hefty 79 grams, all sterling.  It is a push fit top and a baluster shape, typical of the Georgian period of the late 18th century.
    Excellent condition - so nice, the age was a complete surprise! No dents, bends, dings or repairs.  The finial is intact and straight, the base is flat.  I did not polish this - it's in the exact condition it came to me.  From a long time antique dealers estate.
    A great addition to your collection or your table!  Makes a thoughtful gift for the collector, too!
