The silver jug presented by Roseberys has two slender silver support strips on the underside of the ivory element to the handle that the silver-plated version in the book does not have and the finial on the Roseberys jug is more delicate, repeats the linear decoration from its handle and is attached to its cover by a silver stem. Also, illustrated in the book on page 167 is a detail from a page from Elkington's silver pattern book, 1885, which shows the drawing of the jug, numbered 17559 and annotated with it's registration number 22870. Next to the jug are two other known Dresser jugs numbered 17556 and 17557 respectively and also annotated with their respective design registration numbers of 22872 and 22871. In the Register for designs, recorded 2nd March 1885, in the National Archive at Kew there is a group entry for Elkington and Company “22870 – 2”. The description reads "Design for a Claret or Water jug applicable to both pattern and shape." There are individual representations corresponding to the three numbers in another volume devoted to the representations and these are similar to those in the Elkington pattern book. IVORY: Finial: the finial has some crazing to the top and there is a tiny loss at the top where the silver comes through the centre. A few marks. The incised lines look to be coloured and there are some losses to the colour. Handle: some fine hairlines along the grain. There is some discolouration in keeping with age and use. Most of the colouring that would have been in the grooves is gone.SILVER: there is a shallow indentation on the front edge of the cover, at the lip, with some tiny abrasions, this corresponds with similar tiny indentations, texturing and abrasions on the lip of the neck and the underside of the lip. Some occasional fine abrasions on the cover and neck. The hinge is good and stable. Handle structure good. There a few tiny indentations on the body with some occasional random abrasions on the body and foot. There is natural wear to the underside of the foot rim in keeping with age and natural use. The interior has residual gilding on the inside of cover, lip and neck. There are no traces of gilt to the globular part and dirt and residue evident.

The name Anoakia was created from the first two letters of Anita, the oak trees on the land, and the last two letters of Arcadia.Anita Baldwin (1876-1939) was the daughter of Elias Jackson ‘Lucky’ Baldwin (1828-1909) and both were significant figures in the history and development of Southern California. Not least in establishing Arcadia as a City and Lucky Baldwin became its first Mayor. Anita was an independent and philanthropic woman who inherited a love of animals from her father and when she built her home she also established a breeding farm for livestock and purebred horses. She also established the Anoakia kennels. The California Poppy is the State flower of California and an article in the Pasadena Star News, dated April 5th 1916, has the headline “California Poppy is used as a trophy Design by Mrs Anita Baldwin. Granted copyright by U.S Government to owner of Anokia (sic) Kennels.” The article goes on to say: “The California poppy is the design of the trophy, the flower forming the bowl, while the stem is in the shape of the leaves. The design is one that has been greatly admired and for that reason Mrs Baldwin had it copyrighted.”Sotheby’s Paris, April 15 2010, sold an American punch bowl, without hallmarks and makers marks “..in form of the Californian poppy, comprising large punch bowl and stand, 12 cups and a punch ladle, engraved ANOAKIA”. The Roseberys coffee set shows similarities to the Sotheby’s punch set. (Sadly, preservationists were unable to save the Anoakia mansion and it was demolished in 2000, the site is now a gated community known as Anoakia Estates.)(112 ozs). Some tarnishing to all surfaces, with light wear, some old marks and rubbing. Normal wear to bases and underside of tray and some stains to top of the bases of the receptacles.Only the sugar tongs are marked with maker's marks and 'Sterling', all other parts of the set anonymous without any guarantee marks. Metals tested - the silver-coloured metal handles and bases test as 925 standard and the metal beneath the gilt as 800 standard. Presumed American because of the 'Anoakia' inscription.
