A POST WAR CANISTER with a plain, squat, circular body and a twist-open, bayonet-fitting cover, the interior of the cover & body with a light coloured wood lining, by Hector J. Miller, London 1967; 4" (10 cms) high; 17 oz gross *Hector Miller was born in West Sussex in 1945. He first trained at the local art school in Worthing and then continued his studies at Hornsey College of Art where he studied three-dimensional design. In 1968 he went on to the Royal College of Art where he studied under Professor Robert Goodden and while at the Royal College of Art won a competition to design and make a pair of ceremonial batons for the Commonwealth Games at Edinburgh. After completing his studies, Hector Miller worked for three years with Stuart Devlin in London. Notable commissions he designed at this time but made in the Devlin workshop, were a dinner service for the Shah of Iran, a gold cup for the EEC and York Minster goblet, the first of a long series of commemorative projects for English Cathedrals. Hector Miller was also responsible for the manufacture of the cruet designed and engraved by Malcolm Appleby for the Silver Trust. In 1974 Hector Miller established his own company taking on Leslie Durbin's workshop and is regarded today as one of the country's leading designer silversmiths. It is quite possible that lots 174 and 176 which came from the same source as the canister, were also made by Hector Miller whilst he was still at Hornsey College of Art, before leaving in 1968.
