Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. Some of the highlights of the repousse work slightly rubbed as expected with age. Nicely marked to the base. Frosted glass liner is definitely old, unsure if original however this fits nicely. Areas especially behind the handle at the top of where the handle is attached and in various repousse decorations show that this piece was originally silver gilt.

Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. Some of the highlights of the repousse work slightly rubbed as expected with age. Liner appears to be original. A nice example that would benefit from a light clean.

Internal gilt wash rubbed and partially present. Engraving in overall good condition but lightly rubbed as to be expected with age. Internal evidence showing a small section of the lower bellied section of the tankard has been internally hammered out from a drop/dent, this appears to have been done professionally. Would benefit from a light clean.

Stand in good original condition with no evidence of repairs or restoration. Minor scuffs and scratches as expected with age. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Decanter bottles appear to be original to the stand, one with a chip to the rim of the foot. One stopper appears to be a replacement as it is slightly smaller and sits a little lower in the bottle. A very nice example.

Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. Nicely marked to the base, areas of the base showing scratch silver testing patches. Internal gilt wash present but rubbed. Engraving crisp. Frosted finish to the ground of the cup and areas on the handle head finial show evidence that this was most likely frosted gilt finish. A lovely example. Original leather case slightly worn but lovely to still be with the cup.

Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. Engraved owners’ initials slightly rubbed. General scuffs and scratches as expected with aged. Case in good condition. A very nice original example.

Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. The tip slightly bent from where it may have been dropped. The edge to the right-hand side of the engraved dedication rough with minor dents due to impact damage. A bend where the trowel plate is attached to the foot of the handle. Trowel appears to have been used to pry something up causing the bend. As can been seen in the images at the 10 o’clock position a small delamination in the silver, this is not present on the reverse side of the trowel. Would benefit from a light clean and polish. Hallmarks to the silver collar fitting the turned wooden handle. The trowel plate appears to be silver as there is no evidence of base metal showing in rubbed areas.

Good original condition, no evidence of repair or restorations. A tight hairline crack running through a portion of the cameo on the left-hand side running through the emu’s neck and terminating at the back legs. Egg is still sound and secure. Some blue discoloration to the back edge of the ebonised plinth possibly from colored sticky tape. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Malachite base in good order. Overall, a lovely example that would benefit from a light clean
