A George III silver vase shape tea urn by Charles Wright, London 1770, the waisted cover with a vase finial, beaded rims and twin loop handles, an ebony spigot and on a square base with bracket feet, engraved with a crest and an armorial, 51cm (20in) high, 2650g (85.2 oz) gross (the cover and base unmarked). See Grimwade no. 428 and the biography on p. 711. The mark no. 428 of 1775 is the first recorded mark of Wright on his own but the 1773 parliamentary report shows him working alone at Ave Mary Lane. It is well to note that there was a missing register at Goldsmiths Hall prior to 1773. The crest and the arms of RADCLIFFE impaling BOARD or BOURDE of Ireland.

Two pairs of George II silver cast candlesticks, by John Cave, London 1751 and by Frederick Kandler, London 1756, the nozzles with egg-and-dart borders, the vase-shape sockets with egg-and-dart borders and chased quatrefoil panels, the square baluster stems with scales and husks, reeded knops and domes with leaves, the shaped circular bases with shell and quatrefoils bands and egg-and-dart borders, engraved with an armorial and a motto `Forte Scutum Salus Ducum`, 27cm (10.5in) high (Cave) and 25.5cm (10in) high (Kandler), 4160g (133.75 oz) gross (the bases fully marked, the Kandler pair with standard mark to the sockets, the detachable nozzles unmarked). The arms of FORTESCUE quartering CLINTON. See Grimwade no. 1228 for the first maker`s mark and nos. 691-2 for the second. See also Schroder, Timothy `British and Continental Gold and Silver in the Ashmolean Museum` Oxford 2009, vol. 1, p. 462, cat. 180 for a closely related set of four by Paul Crespin, London 1736-7. The author notes that no clear design source emerges but the set in the Ashmolean are predated by a set of the previous year by the Paris goldsmith Nicholas Outrebon. The pattern was one of the more expensive types at the time and evidently quite popular, being made by several goldsmiths and over several decades. Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports.
