FINE QUALITY GEORGIAN ENGLISH STERLING SILVER HOT WATER/TEA URN 1806

Presented is an excellent Georgian English sterling silver hot water or tea urn by Stephen Adams I, from 1806. The urn would have been used for dispensing hot water for tea, and would be entirely useable for any similar purpose today. It has a removable canister inside for holding a piece of coal or pig iron to keep the water heated, and a spigot for dispensing the water. The urn is fantastically made in a very classical double handled trophy form, raised on a cut cornered base with ball feet. The urn is beautifully engraved with birds and leaves, and has a crest on both sides of a tree and saw over a crown. This is an excellent piece of English silver work, and would be an asset to any table or collection.

This piece is hallmarked on the exterior of the lid and body, opposite the side with the spigot. The body is hallmarked with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard\'s head crowned for the city of London, the King George III head duty mark, and the date letter L for 1806. The maker\'s mark SA is for Stephen Adams I. The lid is hallmarked with the maker\'s mark, date letter, and lion passant.

This piece is in excellent condition. We have checked it for water-tightness, and the spigot does not leak when shut off. There may be a solder repair to the juncture of the base and body, or this may be original solder from the manufacture of the piece, we can\'t be sure. However it isn\'t visible without picking the piece up and turning it upside down. Otherwise there are no problems, no splits, no breaks, no monograms and no monogram removals.

The urn has a capacity of 5 1/2 cups or 44 ounces.

The urn stands 11 3/8 inches tall at the highest point.

The urn weighs 1237 grams.

Good luck and offer with confidence.
