A George V small Coffee Pot, of plain polished baluster form, with hinged and domed cover, set with cast and applied bladed finial, polished body bearing contemporary armorial, and cast and applied spout, to an ebonised handle, and raised on a spreading circular foot, height 7 ¾", weight 16 oz all in, Sheffield 1929, Maker`s Mark GH
Lot 324
An early George III Scottish silver coffee pot Ebenezer Oliphant, Edinburgh 1741 - 42, Assay Master Dougal Ged, of flared form with chased borders of flower head, fruit and scroll decoration, with reeded foot, the slender spout with chased panels of flower heads and foliate detail, the hinged domed cover with similar decoration and simple squat bun finial, with simple S scroll wooden handle with scroll capped terminals 27cm high, 30oz Note: Ebenezer Oliphant was the maker of the travelling canteen given to Prince Charles Edward Stewart - interestingly made the preceding year to this piece - which is rightly considered one of the finest examples of mid 18th century Scottish silver work. This can be seen on display in the National Museum of Scotland (see `Silver; Made in Scotland` 8.21) and also featured in Ian Findlay`s `Scottish Gold and Silverwork`. Oliphant is considered to be one of the few true Jacobite silversmiths who`s unswerving allegiance to the Jacobite cause can be gauged by the patrons who commissioned him, unlike many other silversmiths at the time who did not let their political leanings interfere with possible commissions.
Lot 325
A scarce George I Scottish silver apple-shaped teapot Colin MacKenzie, Edinburgh 1721-22, assay Master Edward Penman, of simple plain tapered form with shaped foot, with straight spout and muscular handle with ivory insulators, the hinged cover with shaped hinge and ivory bun finial on stepped mount and with silver cap 15cm high 20.5oz Notes: Apple-shaped teapots are in any instance scarce, but to find one of such an early date is extremely unusual. An earlier example by Colin MacKenzie (Edinburgh 1715-16) is recorded in the National Museum of Scotland collection, but the present example must be considered one of the earliest Scottish teapots of any form available to collectors. From extant examples this form of teapot only seems to have lasted in Scotland for a short time from circa 1714 - 1730, before the more commonly known spherical bullet-shaped teapot becomes the standard.
Lot 392
Dundee - an unusual Scottish provincial punch ladle J Haxton, marker pot of lilies twice, JH, pot of lilies twice, the oval bowl with scalloped everted rim, with simple socket stem attached to part twisted baleen handle with simple silver cap finial 36cm long Notes: For an illustration of this piece and marks see `Dundee Silver 1750 - 1850` by Dr William Guthrie M.B Ch. F.R.C.Path page 60
Lot 420
Greenock - a rare Scottish provincial sugar caster John Taylor, marked IT, anchor, S, of conventional form with simple baluster body with reeded mid girdle, on simple domed spreading foot, the pull off cover with semi spiral piercing and simple engraved decoration with urn finial 13.5cm high 2.9oz Notes: While there is a long and relatively well-recorded silversmithing history in Greenock, there is surprisingly little holloware recorded. It seems probable that this piece was bought in from the large centre of production only 25 miles away.
Lot 432
Inverness - a rare Scottish provincial mounted Highland dirk Robert Anderson, marked RA, camel, INS (to pommel cap), the intricate carved wooden handle with basket weave decoration and simple studded detail, the shoulders with applied banding of foliate engraved silver, the pommel cap with scalloped mount and engraved `John MacDonald` in script, with simple bun finial, the single fullered blade marked GR with crown above and JEFFRIES below, the leather scabbard with simple mounts with scalloped edges and incised detail, the bi knife and fork set side by side in one mount, the bi knife an fork with similarly intricately carved handles and simple pommel caps blade 34cm long, overall length 47cm Notes: This dirk shows many high quality and interesting features from that of the standard dirk, particularly the finely carved handle with the added detail of the carved studs and applied shoulder mounts. The parallel mounting of the bi knife and fork is a feature that was only seen on dirks for a very short time (perhaps as short as 20 years). Perhaps the most interesting and the rarest feature are the full Inverness marks. While it must be assumed that provincial silversmiths were involved in the manufacture of dirks it is very rare to find period examples marked. Indeed only two other Inverness dirks are known from this period; one by Robert Anderson (in the collection Inverness Museum and Art Gallery), and one struck with town mark only (see J Foreman `The Scottish Dirk`). Even 50 - 60 years later marked dirks are rare and it is not until the early Victorian period that we see the practice of marking dirks becoming more commonplace (although never standard). The blade being marked for London bladesmith Jeffries is also an interesting feature and seems to suggest the blade could have been part of the earlier outfitting of Highland Regiments by King George and recycled into the manufacture of this dirk.
Lot 442
Stonehaven - a rare Scottish provincial coffee spoon J Robb, marked ROBB / STONEHAVEN, with pear shaped citrine finial collet set and attached to simple tubular stem with small bowl 10cm long Notes: This combination of marks is rare and has only been noted a handful of times on spoons similar to this.

Ballater - a large Scottish provincial silver letter opener William Robb, marked ROBB, BLTR, Edinburgh 1910, the large flared plain blade with split top section of intertwined knotwork, with cast final of the Arms of Scotland 24cm long Notes: The armorial finial to this piece and the year of hallmarking may suggest its manufacture as a coronation souvenir of King George V who ascended to the throne in 1910. It is also known that Royal commissions by Robb incorporated this armorial.

No `local` marks are known for Fraser, and his mark is known in combination with Edinburgh marks and struck as maker`s mark only.
