Britannia Silver: The Britannia silver standard of 958 (95.84% of fine silver), denoted by the icon of the seated Britannia holding an oval shield, was introduced by William III in 1697. This was to indicate the slightly higher standard of silver from sterling silver standard of 925 (92.5% of fine silver).
This coat of arms could pertain to the Charlton family.
Condition
This antique William III caster is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
The chased decoration is very sharp and the bright cut engraved decoration is very crisp.
Full Britannia hallmarks struck to the surface of the body and part hallmarks to the cover, as to be expected, are clear in keeping with age and location.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of antique silverware.
