This is a charming George V Sterling Silver Egg Cup. The egg cup is shaped as a small tea cup with an angular handle and stands on three spreading feet. The initials J.T. are neatly engraved on the front.

The egg cup was made in Sheffield by Lee & Wigfull and dates to 1918. Founded in Sheffield in 1871 by George Lee and Harry Wigfull, the firm were electroplaters, silversmiths and pewterers. George Lee left the firm in 1879 but the company continued to trade as Lee & Wigfull. The firm prospered and remained in the Wigfull family until the end of the Second World War. A number of buyers then followed before the firm ceased trading around 1969.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after over 105 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The egg cup is 6.6cm / 2.6ins from rim to handle, 4.6cm / 1.8ins across and 4.6cm / 1.8ins high. It weighs in at a very respectable 43.7g / 1.5oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, below the rim near the handle, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the date letter a for 1918 and the H.W makers' mark for Henry Wigfull of Lee & Wigfull.
