A Victorian Silver Christening-Mug Probably by George John Richards, London, 1855
tapering cylindrical and on spreading rocaille stamped foot, the lower body with foliage and flower engraved medallions below engraved foliage and with a vacant cartouche, with leaf-capped handle 11cm high, 4oz 19dwt, 154gr
Fully marked under base with silver marks. The marks are generally clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There is a bruise to the base which causes the mug to rock slightly when placed on a flat surface. There is no obvious unevenness to the cartouche but it has possibly been erased.
