A George I rare set of three silver miniature or toy dinner plates, by David Clayton, London circa 1720, of plain form, diameter 43mm. David Clayton was a London silversmith renowned for producing miniatures and toys. Examples of his work may be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. See Bonhams Edinburgh 02/12/2015 and the Milntown collection, Bonhams London 13/11/2013 for other examples of toy silverware. The 18th century marked an era of retail where children themselves were seen as valuable consumers and the idea of being born with a silver spoon in one's mouth appeared as a genuine possibility. The concept of doll houses, which originated in Germany and Holland, took hold of Britain and skilled silversmiths created charming accessories for these miniature homes. Most English silver toys were made in London, but shops also imported items from Holland. Although these houses offered entertainment for both children and ladies alike, they also played an important role in the education of young girls. They provided a visual display of how a lavish house should be kept, its accessories denoting the styles of the period and what was considered fashionable. This can be clearly seen in the differences between Georgian and Victorian silver toys. Whilst the first boasts a refined elegance through relatively plain designs, the fussy decoration of the latter indicates a stark change in taste.
