Item Details
Description
Pair of Late George III Sterling Silver Salt Cellars

hallmarked London, 1799-1800, by John Gold (ca. 1768-1861; free 1789), each of footed navette bowl form, with bulbous sides and upswept ends, decorated with repousse floral rococo banding and raised on four claw-and-ball feet, fitted with a conforming cobalt glass liner.
h. 2-1/4", l. 3-1/2", w. 2-3/8"; 6.55 total t. oz. (excluding liners)

Literature: Arthur G. Grimwade, London Goldsmiths, 1697-1837: Their Marks and Lives, Third Edition (London: Faber & Faber, 1990), p. 525.
Condition
**One foot of one cellar is bent slightly inward, creating a very slight wobble. Both cellars show extensive black salt discoloration and pitting on the interiors; one cellar has a 1/4" split at the join, with a small repair below it, presumably a result of this corrosion. No dents noted; some wear to the repousse details. Hallmarks good, though the maker's mark is worn on the left and top edges on both (probably wear in the original punch). Liners very good, with two or three negligible frits on the rims.
