Elizabeth II silver teapot by Edith Carolyn Herries, Edinburgh 1967 (assayed on 9th November 1967), 14cm tall, 600g gross.

According to information held at the Edinburgh Assay Office this ECH makers mark was first registered in August 1963 by Edith Carolyn Herries. She described herself on registration as a student of the Art College and from research into the Assay Office day books, it appears she only ever submitted two parcels for assay, one in 1963 and the other in 1967. In total only nine pieces were assayed, eight in 1963 and one in 1967. With kind permission of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh we are able to provide scans from their day book although they remain the copyright holders of these images. These images are possible thanks to the research work of Henry Steuart Fothringham, Historian.
