Description

Condition

This superb mug is in very good condition for its age. Excellent colour. Marked underneath with a full set of clear English silver hallmarks. An attractive feature is the blobby mercury solder underneath which is completely original in the manufacture. There is a mark inside where the handle has pushed in a bit over the years. The mug has been water tested and does not leak. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.

Maker Information

Maker: John Cruttall

John Cruttall, London silversmith, apprenticed to Francis Harris 1647, turned over to Daniel Rutty 1652, free 1655. During his career Cruttall bound 18 apprentices of whom 7 became free this unusually large number signifies a very active workshop. Described by David Mitchell as “a skilled as well as honest plateworker” Cruttall was employed by the goldsmith-banker Sir Stephen Evance (who subsequently became Jeweller to the King and was knighted). Cruttall died circa 1695.
