Description
Pair of George III Sterling Silver Salt Cellars

hallmarked London, 1791-1792, by Henry Chawner (1764-1851; free 1785), navette pedestal form, with upswept ends and raised on a conforming pedestal foot, with reeded rim and base, engraved on the body with the crest of Coock (a talbot sejant, its paw resting on an escutcheon or), fitted with conforming cobalt glass liners.
h. 2-1/2", l. 4", w. 2-1/4"; 4.72 total t. oz. (excluding liners)

Literature: Arthur G. Grimwade, London Goldsmiths, 1697-1837: Their Marks and Lives, Third Edition (London: Faber & Faber, 1990), pp. 463 & 741.
Condition
**In overall good condition with minor wear consistent with age. One cellar has a shallow 1/8" dent on the bowl near the bottom, and a negligible compression dent where the pedestal meets the body making a "ghost" ring on the interior bowl. Marks excellent. The liners have a few scattered tiny frits on the sharp edges, but no cracks or significant chips.
