A very fine George III Water or Wine Ewer made in London in 1791 by John Robins.
This very fine piece stands on a circular pedestal foot decorated with reeding and engraved with stylised foliate bright cutting.
The Classical vase shaped main body rises to a reeded band above a beautiful band of flower heads in octagonal frames.
The front displays a shield shaped cartouche engraved with contemporary script initials surrounded by a very finely executed cartouche of drapery mantling.
The base of the neck is decorated with a band of prick dot bands and foliate motifs and also rises to a reeded rim. The bright cut domed hinged cover terminates in an urn finial.
The jug displays its original fruitwood handle an is in excellent crisp condition. The base displays a crisp set of hallmarks and the underside of the cover is marked with the sterling mark.
John Roberts was a prolific maker who specialised in tea and coffee wares always with fine finish.
