A George III Provincial Silver Two-Handled Cup by John Langlands, Newcastle, 1771
inverted bell-shaped and on spreading reeded foot, with central reeded band and two scroll handles, one handle engraved with initials 'O' over 'TA' 18.4cm high, 18oz 13dwt, 580gr
Fully marked underneath and further marked with maker's mark on each handle. The marks are generally clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are no obvious thin areas but it is possible the cup may have been erased. There are some very minor bruises and the foot has been pushed very slightly up into the body. One lower handle junction may have been repaired. We are happy to provide Condition Reports to prospective buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale. We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers, or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.
