Condition
A fine piece in very good condition, with no issues noted beyond the expected signs of age. No dents, breaks or repairs. Marked in the bowl with the London crowned leopard's head and on the reverse of the stem with the sterling lion passant, the date letter "n" for 1630-1631, and the "EH" maker's mark of Edward Hole. The date letter slightly off-struck and the maker's mark with some faint wear, but the marks are all in quite good condition, the leopard's head being particularly fine.
