Solid Silver Cream Pail

A fine quality solid silver cream pail. The piece is a good weight and in style is very much that of eighteenth-century cream pails. The pail is of a simple design with a ribbed design around the body imitating staves and a twisted handle replicating rope. There are a full and clear set of hallmarks for London, 1900 and Charles Stuart Harris. The firm of Charles Stuart Harris was a well established and prolific maker in the later Victorian period with a particular flair for fine quality pieces in earlier styles. The cream pail is in very good condition and a charming piece of novelty silver.
