A George III silver cream pail, pierced with floral design, London 1768, William Vincent (base a.f), with clear glass liner
Estimate £70-90

Glass insert may well be a later replacement. It appears as though the bottom of the base has been cut or filed down as only half the hallmarks are visible. There is a repair to the top rim in the form of visible solder. Some of the wire work is misshapen and there is some minor loss to the foliate decoration in places. Overall quite poor condition.
