Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £1

Buyer's Premium:

A three-piece pewter service set comprising a large water or milk jug, a smaller cream jug, and a sugar bowl with a fitted lid. Each piece is designed in the Neoclassical revival style, featuring a cast relief-moulded frieze around the lower body. This decoration depicts various classical Greco-Roman figures in seated and standing poses, surmounted by a border of ribbon-tied floral swags. The items are fitted with black composite handles, likely Bakelite or a similar early synthetic material, which are secured to the metal bodies with pins. The pewter has a characteristic matte, greyish-silver finish with an established patina. No maker marks, hallmarks, or signatures are visible on the exterior surfaces of the pieces.


Condition report:

The set is in good used condition with wear consistent with age. There are visible surface scratches, small dings, and minor indentations present across all pieces, notably on the lid of the sugar bowl and the body of the larger jug. The metal surfaces exhibit a consistent matte patina. The composite handles are intact and remain securely attached to the bodies.
