George III Silver Egg Cup, Matthew Boulton, 1809
Here we have a handsome George III Sterling Silver Egg Cup with a Gilt interior. The egg cup has a circular base with line decoration, a short pedestal stem and a circular rib around the upper part of the body. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The egg cup was made in Birmingham by renowned silversmith Matthew Boulton and dates to 1809. Matthew Boulton registered his mark at Birmingham’s assay office in 1774, just a few months after the office was established, for which he was principally responsible. He had a long and successful career producing a wide range of fine quality silverware and some of the best Old Sheffield Plate ever made. After his death in 1809 the firm was renamed The Matthew Boulton Plate Company and remained in business until it was finally sold in 1848.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, no significant loss to the gilding and just the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after 215 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The egg cup stands 7cm / 2.75ins high and is 4.8cm / 1.9ins in diameter. It weighs in at a very respectable 49.8g / 1.75oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the rim of the base, are a little rubbed but still okay to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter l for 1809, the George III duty mark and the M B makers' mark for Matthew Boulton.
Shipping in the UK is £11 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the egg cup.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
