  Clemont Stoner

  10425 James II Antique Silver Caster

  £6,750

  It’s rare to find such an early example of this large size and weight. The late 17th century silver muffineer is in the traditional lighthouse design and has a bayonet fitting, typical of these very early casters. The base is plain styled with a broad gadroon band, the top is simply pierced, the holes are quite large as crushed loaf sugar was still in use at this early date. Hand engraved to the front is an armorial crest with initials below. Weight 381g, 12.2 troy oz. Height 20cm, 8ins. Diameter 9.6cm, 3.75ins. London 1686. Maker Clemont Stoner. Sterling silver.

  10444 James II Antique Silver Chocolate Pot

  £22,500

  This is one of the earliest surviving English chocolate pots and has the rare early baluster form derived from Chinese porcelain. The wooden C-scroll side handle is mounted with applied silver strapwork and topped by a baluster finial. The pull off lid, shaped like the top of a ginger jar, is attached to the handle by a chain and the urn finial can be removed to insert a swizzle stick in order to stir the chocolate. Hand engraved around the base is a historical interest inscription and below the handle there are contemporary initials “ED” surrounded by mullets. A particularly charming feature is the pierced grill inside the spout which has sixteen inverted hearts. Total weight 673g, 21.6 troy oz. Height 19.1cm, 7.5ins. London 1686. Maker TEB.
