Cased set of silver gilt christening plate

Cased set of silver gilt christening plate

£1,950.00Price

Martin, Hall & Co - Sheffield 1873

 

This remarkable christening set comprises a silver git jug, porringer, sifter spoon and sugar tongs. It would have been designed to be used to make a child’s breakfast and although it appears never to have been used it would have been ideal for the task. 

 

It was made by the excellent maker of Martin, Hall and Co. and the walnut and green velvet lined presentation case is mounted with a plaque that states it was for Mary Dorothea Tucker and is dated 4th January 1874. It was a gift from her godparents and was most likely for her christening. Mary was in fact the British comedian Miranda Hart's great grandmother - such fun!
