Notes: See lot 97 for a similar design.

**Three of the silver feet on one cellar are dented slightly inward, but otherwise all are in good used condition with no breaks or losses. Traces of gilding on the 1893 examples. One liner has a 1/4" long chip on the rim, otherwise all are in good shape with a few tiny frits on the edges.
