Description
Gorgeous Pickle Caster!Complete with silverplate carrier/handle, fabulous silver plate fork and great looking lid!
The set measures 6" tall, obviously more with the fork inside.
The heavy and sturdy lid is marked: JK&Co.
(Possibly:
James Kirkby & Co (James Kirkby, Joseph Waterhouse & John Hodgson)
1810..1812
(registered Oct 1808)
The 7.25" fork is marked:
JGG x S CS.
(Possibly: JOHN GEORGE GRAVES, SHEFFIELD Spoons & Fork Silver produced by the Sheffield England firm (S mark) of industrialist/philanthropist John George Graves (J.G.G. marks) between 1900 and 1914.)
I am not sure if this is a marriage or they are affiliated, but the dates are odd.
Regardless, the fork fits perfectly and they look made for each other.
The silver plate holder is mostly twisted silver and is in good shape and completely intact.
The 4.25" heavy glass insert, which may have a slightly lavender cast, is in excellent condition but there is a sliver chip on the bottom, along with a chip. The chip is difficult to see because it sits in the scalloped area, but it
is
present.
I wasn't very successful in capturing it in a photograph--see the second to the last pic, sorry.
The final photo is of two other pieces I am selling.
A gorgeous and usable piece of history!
