Irish George III Sterling Silver Waiter

hallmarked Dublin, no date letter but ca. 1775, by James Warren, circular with outer flat-chased rococo band and molded rim, raised on three pad feet, engraved with the crest of Durham et al.
h. 1-1/4", dia. 6-7/8"; 9.34 t. oz.

Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana.

**In generally good condition with some scratches and scuffs. All three feet are dented slightly inwards so that the waiter stands on its "toes", and there are corresponding shallow inverted dents on the upper surface of the molded rim where the legs meet the body, one with 5/8" along side it. Each of the feet has some solder visible where it meets the body, possibly original but also possibly a repair. There appears to have been an earlier armoiral/crest buffed out and the current one added; the silver is slightly thinned in this area, but not flimsy, and the alteration does not appear to have been recent. Marked on the underside with the crowned harp, seated Hibernia and maker's mark, all legible but the maker's mark partially worn.
