Due to this unfortunate event we are unable to associate a maker to this jug and the Grimwades book confirms this maker as "unidentified". This large Georgian silver beer jug is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the base are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this Georgian silverware. Length from back of handle to tip of lip. Maker: Untraced Maker's Marks.
