This is a real talking piece! Aesthetic movement c. 1870 or so by Martin Hall & Co of Sheffield. The tall stand is formed as crossed twigs joined with a ropetwist to their bases to support the burner and 'tied' at top with faux rope decoration. The pot itself has a branch form spout and twig form handle. Pot is fairly small at about 1 pint capacity.

A super quality set by Asprey with a Chippendale pattern handle. 8 settings of all the main pieces + extra dessert forks and spoons. 8x dinner knife, side knife, dinner fork, soup spoon + 12 dessert spoons, 12 side/dessert forks, 2 tablespoons, 1 large sauce ladle, 1 small sauce/cream ladle, 6x teaspoons. Total of 66 pieces.

A splendid set of 15 hand blown goblets with splendidly crafted Georgian style baluster knopped stems. Smoothed pontil marks to undersides. Each is etched with a crest of a bull's head, the Latin motto 'Omnia Nobis Curae' below the crest. This is the crest of the Mackaness family. Capacity is c. 1/2 pint capacity (250ml).

These are really quite incredible little pieces! There are 5 forks and 5 knives, they are unmarked silver plated, and each handle is a semi-precious stone including carved amber (with inclusions), carved amethyst quartz, other quartz, carved rock crystal, agates etc. Forks range in size from 10cm to 10.5cm, knives 11.8-12cm. We assume they were intended for use as date or olive utensils. Probably dating c. 1920, origin middle eastern at a guess.
