Silver HollowareThis rare sterling silver mug is a superb example of early 20th-century British craftsmanship, bearing the highly sought-after hallmarks of the Chester Assay Office (closed in 1962) . This vessel has a classic Georgian baluster-shaped body with a high-polish finish and an elegant double-scroll handle topped with an acanthus leaf thumb piece, all supported by a flared circular foot.
