Georgian Irish Fluted Silver Cream Jug Dublin 1801 James Scott

A superb Irish silver cream jug with deeply concave fluted lower walls, chamfered shoulders and very nicely shaped rim with raised reeded handle. Bright cut engraved decoration as a layered frieze under the rim and each fluted panel engraved with the mirror of that frieze along the top, a grape vine type leaf and an ornate hanging droplet. The lower edge with shaded triangular decoration. An engraved crest of a raised open hand above a monogram. Hallmarked Dublin, 1801, maker James Scott. A practical size for use as well as display.
