Sterling Silver Cream Jug and Sugar Bowl - Antique Victorian (1884)

This exceptional antique Victorian English sterling silver cream jug and sugar bowl have a circular rounded form.

The surface of each piece is embellished with impressive engraved Chinoiserie style decoration, incorporating structures, foliage, figures and birds.

The upper rim of each piece is encompassed with an applied moulded border.

The cream jug and silver bowl are fitted with sterling silver bamboo stalk decorated handles.

These fine examples of antique silverware retain the original gilded interiors.

Maker: Unknown

The antique Victorian sugar bowl and cream jug are an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition

The engraved decoration is all very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each piece are all very clear; due to the nature of the rounded body the maker's mark has been poorly struck and is illegible.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique silverware.
