GLASGOW – A RARE SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL TEA TRAY MILNE & CAMPBELL marked M&C, Glasgow town mark, MC, O, of large circular scalloped outline with moulded rim, raised on four scrolling hoof feet, the reverse of the tray engraved William Crawford born 1 Jany 1704, Elizabeth Gow born 15 Decr 1712 – Married 5 August 1731 – Died 21 May 1771, Died 5th June 1787’Dimensions:36cm diameter, 35ozNote: Note: The tea tray was an expensive optional extra within larger tea services and likely rarely commissioned. When compared to the extensive survival of teapot stands / waiters and traditional-sized salvers the true rarity of such a piece becomes evident. The survival of such items of Scottish manufacture pre-1750 appears to number as few as six, with only one provincially made example. The idea of a tea service is a relatively modern one, with matching items bought at the same time. It is likely that most services were ‘collected’ over time and indeed utilised fashionable porcelain as well as silver. The need for an equipage which included a large tea tray such as this would certainly have been for the highest classes of society only. Indeed there are few items of Scottish George II silver which would be larger or heavier than a tea tray such as this, perhaps only spirit kettles or the iconic ovoid coffee urns, again cementing the status an object of this type would have brought. Such an item would only have graced the wealthiest and most fashionable families and houses of Scotland.The fascinating engraving on the reverse presumably shows the origin of either the wealth or indeed recycled silver which was used to create this tea tray, likely closely upon the death of Elizabeth Gow in 1787 when this tray was likely crafted.
GLASGOW – A SCARCE SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL OIL AND VINEGAR CRUET MILNE & CAMPBELL marked M&C, Glasgow town mark, MC, O, the twin cut glass bottles with facetted lower section and stepped neck with simple pull off covers, the frame with flat base and wire work mounts raised on a S scroll and shell supports, with leaf clasped handle and Rococo cartouche with initialDimensions:21cm wide, 16.5oz weight of standNote: Note: For another example of this rare form in Scottish provincial silver by Adam Graham of Glasgow see Scottish Works of Art & Whisky, Lyon & Turnbull 18th August 2021, lot 169
GLASGOW - A SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL CARD TRAY JOHN DONALD, GLASGOW of circular outline with a cast shell border, engraved crest to centre, raised on three hoof feetDimensions:18cm across, 7ozNote: Note: Working between 1785-95, it is very rare to see any pieces by John Donald appear at auction. This early work is perhaps even rarer as it is a card tray, where most of his marks are to be found on spoons. Glasgow's Assay Office was not established until 1819, but it is interesting to see that the marks here, with the town mark, and the date letter S, mirror the hallmarking system of more formal Assay Offices. During this time, the letters S (sometimes reversed), E, F and O were used.
