Pair of Antique Silver George III Silver Pepper/Spice Caster made in 1762
Out of stock
A rare pair of early George III silver pepper/spice casters, which have a baluster-shaped form onto a circular spreading foot.
This rare pair is unusual as they are the same date and maker with the same family initials underneath the foot but have differing finials to indicate the differing contents. One could have been used, for example, for white pepper and the other for ground nutmeg.
The casters retain the original impressive hallmarked sterling silver push-fit covers embellished with embossed ornamentation incorporating pierced decoration.
They are beautifully made and in excellent crisp condition- a rare pair by the specialist caster maker Jabez Daniell. They are very well-hallmarked on the bases and lids.
Dimensions, height 13.5 cm.
Weight, 6 troy oz.
Jabez Daniell
The son of Jonathan Daniel of Aldgate London maltster , apprenticed to Samael Wood, 6 December 1739 ( a premium erased in the entry). Free, 17 March 1747.
First mark entered as largeworker, 28 July 1749. Address, Carey Lane, where Heal records him till 1768. Livery, May 1751. James Mince who was apprenticed to him in 1753 and free in 1761, appears to have worked in partnership with him from 1766-75 on the evidence of mark no 3633, found almost entirely on castors and Mince was described as “castor maker Carey Lane “in an apprenticeship entry of 1773.
Daniell was then probably in partnership with his son Thomas from about 1771, as they appear together as goldsmiths, Carey Lane in the Parl.
Report list 1773 (although Mince is not found). This partnership was apparently as Thomas entered a mark alone in 1774, possibly indicating Jabez’s death or retirement .
