Item: Cream Jug Description: Hallmark: London
1732 by John Gamon Dimensions: 3.4" (48mm) diameter base;
1.8" (89mm)
tall; 98g weight Comments: A rare and first
class example of the earliest definite form of cream jug. The plain
baluster body of this pitcher style jug, sits on a low collet foot
(slightly compressed) and the distinctive sparrow beak pouring spout
droops slightly - in the manner of the finest examples. A further bonus
with this example is the presence of the original planishing (hammer)
marks which are faintly visible to both interior and around the lower
section of the body on the exterior. The engraved crest of a horse's head
dates from later in the 18thC. First class condition and patina.
